The Christmas season is over and tonight the tree will be taken down. I love Christmas!! Every year I look forward in anticipation the traditions, family get together's, and memories of the season. This year I thought I was prepared... shopping was started earlier, I had plenty of free days to do my decorating, baking, and planning. Then sickness hit. I came down with the flu and felt yucky for 2 weeks, near the tail end of it the stomach bug hit!!! Thankfully no one else in the household was affected, but as the one who pushes for all the traditional things I felt like I had been robbed of Christmas and on top of it I had to work on Christmas thus making it feel even weirder. Yet today on the first Monday of the New Year as I reflect on these pictures of December, I realize we did have a good time.... celebrations were held with each family and our own at home. We enjoyed great food, fun times together, and really the sickness was before Christmas and didn't impact the actual day (some families I know suffered from this). I have warm memories of time spent with family, friends, and church. I'm excited to begin this new year... get organized, back on track with exercise, biblestudy, and all the new adventures it will bring.
