People driving like the world is coming to an end, rude people at Target, and 30+ items in the express lane at Safeway tis' the season of Christmas almost here. Although I think it is so easy to focus on all the crazy people this time of year. I always love December for the fact I can look back and remember so many good Christmas memories with my family. I remember as a kid living for Christmas vacation and a few weeks where I could stay up late, sleep, in and not have the stress (haha if I only knew then what I know now) of school to go to. The holiday season can bring so much joy as well as pain for people, but not matter what the season means to you I think it is important to realize that each year gives you the chance to embrace old memories and create new traditions.
I don't think I ever really realized how one year could change so much. Last year I remember Isla was sitting in her bouncy seat looking at the lights on the Christmas tree and this year I had to create a make shift holiday alarm system of jingle bells from Hobby Lobby to alert me when Isla, Dee, or Leo gets to close to the tree. Last year the presents sat under the tree untouched until Christmas morning and this year they are upstairs in the office after one almost met it's demise tonight.
Christmas means looking at the end of December which also means looking at the end of 2010. 2010 was a roller coaster ride that involved surviving H1N1, a career change when life happened while I was busy making other plans, but at the end of the day 2010 has been a year to remember.
Everyone has their own idea on how a perfect holiday season will go. I hope no matter what memories everyone is busy making you have a merry christmas and hope that 2010 bought you everything you wanted and 2011 has even more to offer.
