Merry Christmas and good trimmings

Good tidings to all, this is a different Christmas for me. It’s the first time that I am not celebrating the day opening presents, and it’s not because of me. Usually I worked, trying to squirm my way out of the day, but today Tata is working, so I can use her as an excuse. Really, not an excuse, but I am still tired all the time and just don’t want to go to the city after 5 when it starts getting dark.


We gathered all the presents and put them by the door and stood back looking at just how many there were. WOW! I think we outdid last year and there was a load then. I have decided next year, maybe just envelopes…lol.

I think it would be great to have a scavenger hunt to find the presents, especially for the little ones. I didn’t like last year when the middle grand child would grab one of his presents, rip open the paper, toss it to the side, and ask where his next one was. I was not even the present that got him excited, it was seeing how many he was going to get. It disturbed me, cuz he just tossed them, not caring if they broke, he didn’t care who had given them to him, I was perturbed. If it happens this year, he may not get any next year.

My eldest child upset me a little this week. The children’s toy box is over flowing very much so. She put the kids’ name on the giving trees around town. When one of them only brought one gift, she called them and told them that wasn’t fair, so they are going out of their way to get more for the kids. I told her that she didn’t have to do that, as the kids were getting plenty of stuff from the family, that those presents should be used for kids that really needed it.

Well, I guess I am going to sign off, just wanted to say Merry Christmas, may the spirit of Christ help you through your trying times. This is my time to pray and ask for you. God bless.
