Good Tidings of the Season

I got yelled at by Sarah for not blogging for awhile. Like she can talk. She hasn't done anything for over 2 months. Apparently all of the "hip" people are on face book. Oh well, I have never been one to follow the crowd so I'm just doing my little thing here on google. I have been crazy busy getting ready for Christmas. We are having our get-to-gether on the 13th of December so I have less time to prepare. Funny thing is...I'm really excited about it. I'm usually a big Scrooge and all stressed out. I have yet to bring forth any grinchyness this holiday season so far. I'm a little stressed because I want to be able to get everything I want done, but it's a good kind of stress. Bryan accused me of doubling up on my zoloft. He figures by Christmas I will probably OD. I swear that my mood has nothing to do with over medicating. I haven't even had a glass of wine in 2 weeks. I'm filled with the joy of the season. (I'm filled with something alright). I'm even thinking about getting a real tree. What could be the cause of my change of heart??? Could be because there will be 6 kids running around all excited. It could be that all of our kids will be here. Maybe it's because we all had such a good time at Joe birthday that I'm ready to do it again. It could be the excitement of new relationships or the renewing of old relationships. What I really think it is, is I rented a little kid banquet table and chairs and I can't wait to see all of the kids sitting around it. I still get bummed out about all the commercialism and the fact that even when people have no money they feel they have to go out and buy Christmas presents. I guess that's the way its always been and always will be, so who am I to fight tradition. Merry Christmas Everyone and you too tiny Steve. Oh I guess Happy Thanksgiving first.
