Well Hello, here comes the Christmas Season. Yippie. Can you hear the enthusiasm in my words? Of course you can. As you know I am not a real big fan of holidays. When I was a kid, they were all great. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Easter. They all were. Now, I see how much work goes into them. Not that I usually have a lot to do, but there are all kinds of activities that go along with decorating. Putting up a tree, trimming the tree, placing all kinds of decorations around.
I don’t decorate very well. I don’t have an eye for that sort of thing. So it doesn’t come easy to me. I can’t tell what looks good. Or what goes with what. Seems to me you just put the things you like where ever they will fit. Since we have a small house and living room, I am limited to what goes where. This is where I find myself being decoratively challenged. I know I could probably ask someone who knows what goes where, but then comes the problem of having what is needed to help put this here, or there. So I just use the things I have accumulated over the years. And yes, it always looks like someone blew up the Christmas decoration box.
Having children means you have to do all that. Plus then you have all the Christmas programs, parties and fundraisers. Not that I am complaining about those, I enjoy them. But it is work to get ready for them. Then you have the shopping. Shopping has to be the hardest part. I can think of all kinds of things for people when it is June or September, but when December comes around, I draw a blank. And then shopping for kids, oh my goodness. You just never get it right.
Some people do cooking. I am not a good cook. I have already thought of trying to cook some pies or cookies, or candy. Let me say it again, I am not a good cook. Rachel Ray would clutch her chest if she were to visit my kitchen. And not in a good way.
I hope you enjoy the Holidays, and I hope you enjoy decorating and the Holiday things. I will do my best this year. I did for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and will continue on for the rest of them.. only don’t laugh at my decorations. Ok? Ok.
