O Christmas Tree

Christmas and me just aren't mixing this year. I have never been a person that liked Christmas (okay, quit cussing the screen). Even as a small child I always enjoyed getting presents just like any kid but would hate all the festivities of it. I couldn't get into it. This year has been exceptionally hard. I didn't want to even do Christmas. I've only bought a few things and told everyone I know, not to give us anything for Christmas.



This is thanks for my sweet husband for forming the tree and my three adorable boys who decorated it. Skyler did hand me my special ornament and I placed it on the tree but it was nice to have my family pull through for me. I don't know why Christmas is so hard for me. I hate that it has become so commercialized. We have tried as a family to do some service every year to bring the true spirit of giving for the right reasons.

Thanks Johnny, Jordan, Skyler, and Dawson for putting up the Christmas tree for me. I really love sitting in the front room every night in silence and having the tree lights on. It brings a sense of peace to me. Shhhhh! Don't tell anyone.

My only advice is don't let your children grow up to fast. Enjoy them while they are young. I have a lot of regrets because I feel my children have grown up to fast. On a positive note, I have a choice and I chose to turn it around and make it special and change the way I see things and I appreciate my little family more than ever. They truly are amazing people and all hold a very special place in my heart.

I love you John, Jordan, Skyler, and Dawson! And your all I need for Christmas....
Merry Christmas to all and all a good night.
