Christmas is here. This used to be my favorite time of year. I don't know when it became my least favorite. There is so much work involved and I hate the pressure to live up to it's expectation. Now that my kids are bigger, getting something I know that they will like is much harder.
I watched Christmas with the Krank's by myself last night. I laughed, thought it was funny. But really, I think that over the last few years I have missed out on Christmas because I have not done what they did in the movie which is enjoy Christmas with family and friends. Our family Christmas eve party has deteriorated due to family feuds. We now have it several weeks ahead of time, it is often strained and not everyone comes. I didn't get to go this year because of my back injury, so I missed out.
I think that next year, I am going to have a Christmas eve party for anyone who wants to come and celebrate. And it is going to be on 12-24! so make plans to attend now. : )
This year, we are going to have a small celebration with just the 5 of us. Dave, Kaia, Katlyn, Tommy and myself. I have a dinner planned. Going to a candle light service at 9 pm and then home for presents and maybe a Christmas movie. Should be nice. No pressure. Merry Christmas everyone...
