i know most people love christmas! it's their favorite holiday etc. etc. but for me i wish it was different. i wish it was more like thanksgiving. one day of family, food and fun. instead it is getting a photo shoot in at the last min. for beautiful christmas cards, then waiting in line at costco with the other grinches to pick them up, spending more money than you want because you want gifts under the tree sometimes it doesn't even feel like they need to be good ones just so everyone can open something. and this week has been so crazy busy i can't seem to breathe.
i know all of this could have been avoided if i had just planned ahead when i had time but it doesn't seem to work out that way. it has just been a busy week and things keep happening that seem to make it all worse. i typed a long christmas card letter and when deleting one sentence the whole thing dissapeared and i do not have time to write that all again. there are preschool field trips, roadshow practice, runs to the airport, sometimes twice in one day and sitting in an hour of traffic on the way back, online retail problems and getting burned while having my eyebrows waxed. i am exhausted. but there i have said it and now i am done being the grinch~ or after this week:)
kiley is coming home this weekend and i want it to be a nice christmasy feeling. one where the spirit of Christ feels welcome in our home, where music is playing and cookies are being made and eaten and everyone can relax.
so in the spirit of a fun christmas here are a few questions for my loyal friends:
angel or star?
white lights or colored?
favorite christmas movie?
oh and i forgot fake or real?
i am star, white lights on tree colored outside, miracle on 34th street (the newer version) and fake most years.
when i have a min. i have pictures to post!
