I can't believe Christmas is already over. I mean all that preparing, well I did not prepare as well as I should have, but I am not talking about me. It seems thought that others prepare 6 months to a year ahead of time and it seems like it is all over in a couple of days. A friend of mine said its like a wedding, all that preparation, then over so soon. I do wish I had more time just sitting and talking with the family and less chaos of making sure everyone had the right gift, that the gift was wrapped, that the gift actually made it in the car, etc. We made it back today from West Tennessee in a van packed with gifts so much that you could hardly see where the kids were sitting. We are so blessed. We came back with a XBox, Barbie house, scooter, video games, clothes, etc., only to hear Claire say this afternoon that she was bored. I thought I would choke her! She did get a microphone on a stand that comes with its own applause button. It's great. The funniest thing was when she finished singing she shouted, "How's everyone in Nashville, TN doing tonight?" This could be the beginning of her career.
I have decided though that I will start shopping for next Christmas tomorrow. It was entirely too stressful for me to have to finish the day before Christmas Eve. Of course, I probably will not be able to find it by then.
