Christmas is when?
Ok so its December 23rd but why doesn’t it feel like it? Usually at this point, I’m giddy with the fact that Christmas is only a couple of days away.
The tree and decorations are up, most of the presents are wrapped (all are bought), the weather is cold but it still doesn’t feel the same.
I know the reason is that our family is not complete right now, SGT Daddy is not here with us to celebrate. We are lucky to we get to talk to him as much as we do and we certainly have a lot to be thankful for this Christmas.
It feels weird though… it seems that time has stopped for us. We still go through each day and the physical time passes. We are just surviving.
It’s hard to get excited about Christmas when all the things that we normally do we can’t do together. We didn’t go out and pick out a real tree this year. We won’t make cookies and watch Christmas movies on Christmas Eve. For us, it’s all about spending time together and being a family.
On a good note, the Christmas season is ALMOST over and we can look forward to 2009 going away and 2010 getting started!
