it’s that time of year. everyone decorates, shops, and seems jollier than any other time of year. why?? it’s exhausting to decorate. first you have to dust everything, add christmas clutter, and when the seasons is over, take it down and dust some more. when you have a chronic illness your holiday spirit is delayed. it may show up christmas eve, but doesn’t stay long. i’m trying. yesterday i hung a wreath on my door, and unboxed the christmas tree. fighting 7’ of lights and hanging some ornaments, we have a tree!! My parents have always given my sons a christmas ornament each year representing their alikes and personalities. it’s fun to pull one from the unruly box and remember back when they were so little. i’m thankful it’s still a magical season for them. ok Santa, ring the bells, i wanna hear too.
