I know Christmas is about so much more than decorations, cards and presents but for moms...
it is mostly about that.
I took the girls to a live Nativity and it was so nice. For me. The girls were more interested in Santa and hot cocoa.
I talk about Jesus being the real reason for the day but they talk about what they want under the tree. Its really a holiday that becomes a bigger stress then I want to deal with.
Besides, Mom has to shop for everyone!
Unless you have a husband who likes going into stores and shopping for someone other then himself,
you also end up shopping for yourself.
I know exactly what everything under the tree is.
I wrote the tags for my own gifts.
Its okay, its just one more thing that distracts from the real meaning of Christmas.
I can honestly say I love Christmas. Its a wonderful time year.
The kids love it. They are mesmerized by it.
The lights, the gifts, the food.
It is all so fun for them.
Here is a little of what our Christmas season as looked like.
It really is a magical time of year for a 6 and 4 year old.
I'll try and remember that when I am opening the pair of sneakers I bought myself.
And there was the vacuum I got on Black Friday for myself.
Because mom cleans the house, she deserves a new vacuum.
To be honest, I prefer to get my own gifts.
I know exactly what I want.
Merry Christmas!
