I pulled off another year of "OMG"s, "I got everything I wanted" and "I love it"s. I should know by now that it always works, even in the most slim of years. I work myself into a panic and stay up til all hours of the night, cleaning, wrapping and worrying about it being enough.
Somehow Christmas has become about the things and how much of them you have. I realize that my kids are always happy with the things they get as long as I listen to what they want. This year my kids only ask for one or two things, I got those things and all is right with the world!
Now that the last minutes of Christmas are upon me, I am sad to see it go, but so happy that the girls are happily dreaming on the couch and Brett is playing smash bros. (again). We all slipped into a coma at some point today, dreaming of the presents we got and the people we love.
The only thing missing today was Jenn and all the kids. Our day was dampened just a little knowing that all wasn't happy and peaceful where they were. We miss them and want them to have happy memories of Christmas just like we do (Although it hasn't always been like that).
Well sweet dreams, and happy memories til next year Christmas. We will look forward all year to seeing you again, to the decorating, and music, and parties and loved ones that we only seem to see on Christmas. I will not miss the panic or trying to pull money out my ass to get the one perfect gift. Good night Christmas '09!!!!
