Spending time with the family is much a big part of the Holiday season . . . going over to peoples houses . . . friends coming over to your house . . . it's all about sharing these memorable moments with the people you love. Yet we also know the holidays for the drama it brings . . . grumpy shoppers . . . fruit cakes . . . . family you don't want to see . . . over spending . . etc.
It's interesting being in the middle . . where you are super excited yet you want it all to go away so life can return to normal. Thanksgiving this year was one for the books . . my husband and I just bought our first house . . and invited both sides of the family over to share in the amazing blessing God has given us this year . . which we are so thankful for. . . . well only my family came to our amazing two turkey dinner with stuffing-gravy-and-all-the-fixins . . . After dinner we visited the other side of the family and came home upset and sad. It wouldn't be a true blue holiday without drama would it? Nothing says "we are happy to have you here" like a rude in your face talking to about blowing off the family for another Holiday when you are standing in their kitchen . . . on said blown off holiday. I am praying Christmas will be different. . . . my heart is heavy . . . . I love both sides of my family . . . but how do you show love to a side that hurts you because it seems they didn't get their way?
Christmas is 5 days away . . . I can't wait to see my husbands face when he opens his gifts. . . . What makes me most excited is when we have kids . . how they will react to Christmas . . . and the Holiday season. I hope I am able to instill in my kids the true meaning of Christmas . . . to give from the heart and not out of obligation . . . and how to enjoy every moment even if you are not happy.
I pray that every one's Holiday will be filled with joy and laughter . . . and there will be no heavy hearts . . . no sadness . . . and no drama.
