Well, 9 days until Christmas. Today, we had a coffee for a neighbor and friend who is leaving and moving to California the 28th. The whole week has flown by. My foot is healing. There was a party on Thursday, a relaxing time Friday, Saturday we planned and cooked, cleaned and watched the rain. Today was all ready for the party and the party. It was nice people took time to come say goodbye and I was glad that we all took time to throw the party. I finished Christmas shopping. I pushed hard and I am so tired but I wanted every night this week to be a little slower so we can savor Christmas. Next weekend, we will go to Spartanburg and then Monday and Tuesday we can relax as a family. But definitely the last week of work was the worst. No Christmas spirit there.
We tried to cut back a little on the kids this year since they really need to understand a little more that Christmas is about more than gifts. Our son delivered the gifts to the toy drive. But we don't know about our nine year old. He might still believe so we want to keep all the traditions and make that Christmas morning exciting. Through all the work, it is still is a wonderful season. I can't wait to have two days off with the family.
