my title is one the name of one of my favorite Christmas songs ever! i fell in love with that song the night i went to see "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" in theaters with my sister. and, for the last few years, it totally describes how i feel about Christmas! i'm by no means a Scrooge, Grinch, or "happy holidays instead of merry Christmas" kind of gal. it's just that Christmas has changed. life has changed. family has changed. people are trying to change the meaning of this time of year even more so it seems. i hear parents say, "i'm not letting some imaginary man take credit for what i do!" or it's all about the gift and the amount of the gift. i LOVE buying gifts! for birthdays, i have resorted to giving money to my siblings and their spouses. i LOVE LOVE LOVE giving gifts! especially at Christmas! i love the fast pace, crowds, sales, the sunshine on a shopping day, doing it all last minute in one day, and the traffic doesn't even bother me! this is usually because i'm with my best,kel.
yes, you read it right that i wait last minute to shop and do it all in one day! that day is next week! woohoo! here's the deal this time. it really doesn't seem like Christmas. 90% of my Christmas gatherings are not even on Christmas eve or day. i have two this weekend. the first one is a girls night out dirty santa ornament night. sounds like fun! it usually is when we get together! saturday is work, work, work and then the young adults gathering. instead of doing dirty santa there, we are collecting toys for the C.A.R.E. center's store in new hope. i'm excited about that! i love helping those who need it!
so here's to Christmas ... where ever you are .... i need to get back to work .... please Christmas come soon .....
