2 and a half days in counting until Christmas. I'm having mixed emotions, but it's still Christmas. And there are still gifts to be given, family to be seen and a feast to be had. (:
I made sure to express my opinion this year about doing Christmas "the right way". Last year, instead of continuing in our traditions, everyone just grabbed a present and... for lack of a better phrase, went at it. Ha ha. It was quite an event, I must say. Being the youngest of about 15 grandchildren, and 5 great grandchildren following me with 2 more on the way, our family is far from small. So organization is key. Every year after lunch, one present at a time, youngest to oldest we each take our place on the fire place and open our gifts, one by one until the base of the tree is empty except for a small nativity scene and a white tree skirt. A time consuming feat, indeed. But without any organization, inevitably, a 10 dollar bill, a gift card, or some other small something or other is going to be destroyed or thrown away in all the hustle and bustle. So this year, things are going to be done the right way (:
I wish you all a very merry Christmas and hope that Christmas day is filled with family, friends, food, ORGANIZATION, and awesome gifts (I'm getting a new iPod(: ) but, through it all don't forget the true meaning of the season.
God bless all of you, and once again, Merry Christmas!
