I love and do not look forward to Christmas each year. The reasons why is there are so many "have-to's" christmas shopping, santa shopping, put up the tree, make shortbread cookies, think of clever gifts for extended family (not a fan) and the list goes on. Shopping for my kids for Santa is very painful. I struggle buying something that might cost a little more for their one good gift instead of the cheapy thing that won't last 3 hours. I hate spending money on SANTA!! But i love the spirit of Christmas and the nativity and the story of the birth of Christ. I love gingerbread hot chocolate, driving around to look at Christmas lights Christmas Eve, reading my children Christmas stories by tree-light each night. Well, 21 more days to go and I am determined to enjoy Christmas for what it really represents -Christ not presents.
