I remember years ago how excited I would be about Christmas. I loved baking cookies, decorating and even writing out Christmas cards. I loved finding gifts for others too. It was always so much fun.
Slowly but surely my love for the Christmas season has been fading away. Each and every year it gets to be more and more like just another day. I don't get excited about decorating, writing Christmas Cards or even finding gifts for others.
This year I am staying home alone for Christmas. I have done it before but this time I feel bad about it. I guess I should have flown to Arizona for Christmas to be with my family but at the time I felt it was best to stay back. I had a great talk with my mom last night and I know that we are all trying to have great family memories when we are together. Since my dad passed away the holidays haven't been easy, but I think we have to remember that we all have each other and we should enjoy the times when we are together.
I think when 2008 leaves... 2009 will be a grand year. I may have not felt the same as I did about Christmas past, but I know that there are many great memories in my future.
Have a Wonderful Christmas everyone!
