Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring not even a mouse. Or in my case, thing in the wall, thing on the floor, thing in my slipper, and thing in Shaun’s dresser.
As quick as Santa put a finger on his nose and up the chimney he rose, Christmas is over. Where did it go? I say this every year. We hustle and bustle and as quick as we hustle, it is done….over….caput. I do have to say, I am one of those people who wants everything down right after Christmas. The cute decorations are not so cute and seem to be closing in on me. My Mickey Claus and Minnie Claus now have their arms outstretched in a zombie like way, and moving in a menacing way. All these cute decorations NOW look like clutter! I know I am not alone. Some may admit, some may not and just nod their heads in agreement.
So it goes, another Christmas over and another year gone. Christmas doesn’t have to be just a once a year thing. I like to think I have Christmas in my heart all year long, where it counts. Spending time with family and friends throughout the year. Knowing it is not the monetary presents, but your presence that counts.
This brings me to my final thought. COME ON SUMMER! Bring on the sunlight. Get rid of dark thirty already. J
