Christmas 2009

I have always loved Christmas time...the decorations, the shopping, the spirit, the food, the family and friends, basically everything about Christmas. But the past few years I've been so behind with my shopping that it has made Christmas more of a hassle and headache. I find myself just wishing it to be over. I know I should spend more time concentrating on what Christmas is all about but I really like to give...not only give just a gift, but the perfect gift. I have tried really hard to teach my girls that Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Christ and there I always am worrying about the shopping and having everything perfect. I guess I should learn from my own teachings. This year I am going to try hard to remember what Christmas is about and not worry so much about the PERFECT gift.
