I'm certain this is a common theme around the offices of my small blog viewing circle, but this place is D.E.A.D. Blog? Yes, please.
My Christmas weekend begins tonight. Not with Christmas activities but family time. I will be having a lot of family time in the next few days. A couple of years ago, that would not have sounded as appealing as it does now. It's funny how as you grow older, things are put into perspective. My family is awesome. Not only my immediate family but the other little rascals too!
What I'm looking forward to most....
- My Dad making me fires in the fireplace, just because he knows they make me happy
- Fighting with my not-so-little brother over Dad's rocking recliner. When we are home, Dad so graciously arranges himself on the couch instead of his rocker. I think he enjoys watching the battle.
- Hanging out with my Mom. Helping her cook and doing some junk store shopping with a trip to Spunky Monkey and Pink Hydrangea tossed in somewhere.
- Playing cards, watching The Christmas Story and drinking Scotch on Christmas Eve
- Opening gifts Christmas morning and hoping Mom likes what we got her :-)
- Hearing how Little B liked all his new toys from Santa!
Most of all I look forward to spending lots of time remembering the real reason for the season. Even though it seems to get lost in all the hustle and bustle, I am truly reminded this year of the good Lord's gift of life and His love for each of us. I am blessed beyone belief and am so very undeserving.
May your Christmas be Merry and White (possibly) and may you enjoy the time spent with loved ones as much as I will.
