~It's almost time to put on the shopping shoes~

Can you believe we will have to start the Christmas shopping soon.....I dread it with all the people in the stores. I love Christmas....decorating, cooking, wrapping presents. However, I hate the crowds and how hateful people can be. I think we lose the meaning of Christmas. I feel that Christmas is suppose to mean being with family, telling them how much they mean to you. Mostly, I think it is to watch the wonder in our children's eye when they wake up Christmas morning to see what Santa has brought and how many cookies he ate. When you see that you forget how bad the economy is, how hard it is to fill your fuel tank.......and we give thanks for the one day we remember that FAMILY is the reason for the season. Merry Christmas everyone. xoxo
