Here it is December 15th...smack in the middle of the Christmas season. I've done some shopping, put up the tree and wrapped some gifts. I even say Merry Christmas to people on the street! But I'm just not feeling it!
Well maybe it's finally time to admit it....I don't like Christmas! There I said it! Yep I don't like Christmas! (Gosh that feels good!)
Christmas is a hard time for me especially since my mother passed. I know it's supposed to be a happy time, but I can't really remember to many happy Christmases in our house. I know mom worked half of them (she was a nurse) and the others I only seem to have bad memories of. Since I've gotten married and had kids of my own it's gotten better but it's still not one of my favorite days.
That being said I do my best to make my children feel that this is the most magical time of year! Christmas should really be a time of giving, family and love and I want my children to have what I didn't! I guess it can only get better right??
