Alee, I have not felt like "doing" Christmas for the past 5 years. But for some strange reason, I am feeling it now. I have been decorating for the last few days. I like real natural greenery and berries. I went to Mrs. T's. yesterday and raided her yard. I did the 2 big front windows and the side window by the kitchen with green boughs and berries. It looks so pretty. And I am making gifts, too. I always wait til the last minute then come up with all kinds of ideas. I've made carpet freshener, thanks to Kimberly. I made hand soap yesterday. I'm making soap today.
So I am very thankful to finally be feeling good again! I actually want a tree and lights and the whole deal. So I think your good joy and optimism has spread all the way to Georgia. Thanks!
Kris

Having a real Christmas tree has been a big thing for us over the years. This year though, we delegated the job of tree shopping to our son and his dear girlfriend. It was so much fun to see their excitement and then watch them work together decorating the tree. Her family didn't celebrate Christmas so its all new and exciting to her. They are working on building a life together and it brings a lot of joy to DH and I.

It is snowing outside very quickly with big fat flakes! If this keeps up we will have a White Christmas for sure!
There is a section of town up here that goes all out with Christmas lights. I will try to get pictures one night once there is as good layer of snow on the ground (So pretty with snow to twinkle off of!)
I am very grateful for all the good things in my life- especially the farmgirls! And strangly enough, I am also grateful for the trials that make this wonderful time so much sweeter!
Kris- I am so happy for you that this season has been feeling better for you! I think I am the same way, actually. For the past couple of years the holidays have not been fun or exciting because I was sad and lonely missing my family. Now I have family as close as 50 minutes away and I couldn't be happier!!
