I can’t believe there is only 8 more days till Christmas. It really snuck up on us this year. Where did the year 2008 go? A lot has happened this year both wonderful and not so wonderful but we have survived once again to ring in a new year.
The kids have been really good especially the I want King, Sean, about not asking for anything for Christmas this year. I am proud of them that they finally get it. Christmas this year is going to be time spent with family we love with no pressure of that perfect gift or that crazy desire to please. It just isn’t happening. And we don’t have to travel to boot because everybody is coming down here Christmas eve. So the only real pressure is going to be the mad cleaning that once again needs to be done.
Megan was my great motivator to decorate this year. We set up my Christmas village of lighted houses and I even let go and let her put the ornaments on the tree by herself the way she wanted to. She was too cute she took all of them out of the box and grouped them into categories and placed them in clumps of theme groups. It actually looks good and very cute.

So I have 8 days to continue my quest to find those little things that I can place in the stockings for Christmas morning and hope the weather cooperates so everybody from my college boy coming home on Friday, to the family coming down on Wednesday happens.
Stay safe, stay warm, feel loved.
