So excited we can hardly stand it! Its December 23 and we are all filled with so much of anticipation! I wish that we would bottle up these next few days. The excitement, the happiness, the thrill of surprise, the hugs and the gratitude are all feelings I would love to hold onto all year long.
We have so much to be thankful for this year and I hope that I can learn to convey that to our children even more. We have been able to hang in there despite the rough economy and our job situations. We always have food on our table and more than enough clothes to keep us warm. We have wonderful family and friends who love us and take care of us. And we have a great home with wonderful neighbors and the kids attend a school with a caring and loving staff.
Though there are times that we wish we could do more and have more money and be able to pay off bills - but if we stop and think about it....we have all we need and are so very fortunate.
Bring on the Christmas Joy! We are more than ready for it! I just hope it goes by slowly!
"These are the days you'll remember. Never before and never since, I promise, will the whole world be as warm as this. And you'll feel it, you will know it's true that you are blessed and lucky." -10,000 MANIACS
