I love,
love, love Christmas time. I love the Frenzied shopping and the fact that you
can hear Christmas carols on the radio.
I love that people put up a tacky blow up Santa next to an elaborate
Nativity scene. I love the cookies and
the parties and all the other chaos that leads up to that one spectacular day. The
Christmas season is the ultimate drama, with a predictably sweet ending.
I enjoy
Christmas so much that I’ve been known to crack out the Christmas decorations
the day after Halloween. Gasp! Yes, I am
one of those people. This being said, I do have one thing about Christmas that
gives me trouble. My Christmas tree is huge
and unmanageable and cries out for my attention like some half-finished
painting sitting in an artist’s basement! I find that no matter how many
ornaments I buy, or what kind of ribbon I use, there is always a bald spot, or
the ornaments aren’t placed quite right. Much
like me, my tree seems to be a never-ending work in progress and therefore
drives me crazy. Will my tree ever be perfect?
Probably not and neither will Christmas. Still, somehow, when I come down the
stairs and my husband or kids have already turned on the hundreds of lights
that weave through my twelve foot, semi realistic looking tree, I feel a charge
of simple happiness. I hope that despite life’s imperfections, you are having a
great Christmas season. Thanks for stopping by. Be sure to enter my giveaway
