I have decorated, shopped, wrapped, cooked, entertained, sent cards, done random acts of kindness, listened to Christmas music, visited the shut ins and gone to church and Chrismas programs and hosted many dinners and lunches and shopped around the world for Christmas gifts - gone thru the motions so to speak.... however, Christmas has never been a happy time for me....not a lot of good memories growing up due to alcohol abuse and disappointing events that have left a huge scab on my soul.....then some great years with the kids when they were little and I could control things and exciting times with grandkids...yet some of those events reoccur and rip that scab right off...sad but true - no pity potty...just validating what is real....life is Bittersweet afterall - just look at the title of my Blog. So good for everyone who has wonderful memories and great plans and special thoughts and times - I am truly happy for you. Here are some things that do make me smile...
Brothers making a Gingerbread house at GiGi's while listening to Christmas music....look at Rocky in his bed watching and Brody eating all the decorations.....
perfection in decorating.....look out Cake Boss! Dylan added the Santa and built a chimney - so cool.
A nerf gun dart in our Christmas tree - not a decoration but from one of our play sessions and I just left it there....my favorite ornament on the tree....
A few things that make me smile (even with my oral surgery yesterday):
