I love this time of the year. I love what it stands for and I love buying presents and I love getting presents. I love seeing people out doing things and being happy. Every once in a while you will see a Scrooge but not too often.
I love watching Christmas movies on Lifetime or Hallmark. But I do think right after Halloween is little bit too soon. Tonight I am watching " A Christmas Carol." I have never seen "It's a Wonderful Life" all the way thru.
I had a really good surprise this year. My son sent me money to help out on my Christmas buying. That was so very nice of him. I have twenty one grandkids and seven kids so that is hard sometimes. I am getting me a mani and pedi tomorrow with part of that. That always makes you feel better.
Four of my grandkids helped me decorate the tree today. I have done it so many years I don't really get excited doing it anymore. But they love to do it. Just like wrapping presents. I hate doing that anymore too. You got to do it though.
Jana and I went to Walgreens and Wal Mart tonight. The closer to Christmas it gets the further away you have to park at Wal Mart. I hate that. My foot is still giving me pain when I walk a lot. I wish just one year I could get thru early but that never happens. I am usually there that last day on Christmas eve still trying to find a present. Then home to wrap them.
We usually open one or two presents on Christmas eve and then the rest the next morning. When I was a child we opened all our presents on Christmas eve. I kind of like it better just opening a few and waiting until the next day to open the rest.
I am still a kid at heart when it comes to Christmas. I can hardly wait.......
