Ok so with no disrespect to my momma...she has always gone a little bonkers at Christmastime and when I say Christmas I mean from about late October till Christmas.
You could always tell her little wheels would start turning...what am I gonna get the kids, how are we going to pay for it, will they be disappointed, do my lights work...she would even let these things ooze out into all around her...
I always said...I'm not going to stress like her I'm going to enjoy...it is my FAVORITE time of the year not because of Santa Claus or gift giving but because everything turns to such cheer...there is an excitement in the air, families come together when they've been apart most of the year, houses become much more exciting and festive, there is always something to do...it's just the best...and also it reminds me of God's gift to me...I've always imagined God giving his son to be born as a human...what Mary must have felt in the last few weeks, oh my...I just love it...
It does make me go a little insane though and it's getting earlier and earlier. I just can't help myself I'm crazy for this time of year.
My house is decorated in the first week of November and I don't care...hehehehe (in a crazy laugh)...and I don't care about the presents...haven't even thought about it!
