This is going to be a very different Christmas this year. I am reeling from all the changes this year only to be handed one more...Christmas without my dad. Dad passed away on December 12 sometime between 2300 and 2320. It was very peaceful and quick, just like he prayed for (I am being literal - he did pray for it).
I managed to start the Christmas season with zeal - I bought my first live tree and stand (I won't ever get one this big again for just me and Aidan), managed to get it home, off the car, onto the stand (I would have liked to see that from someone else's perspective...lol), and watered. I got lights on it and started on the outdoor lights. Trying to figure out how everything works around this house is a pain but I am doing it. I look forward to having less house to take care of! I even started getting Christmas presents very early this year. All the drama of the changes this year have made completing my projects difficult.
I guess I am saying that Christmas is going to be an affair that we celebrate for Aidan's sake but sadly, my family and I are having trouble mounting up the Christmas Spirit. Here's hoping that tomorrow morning will look brighter when I am not so tired! I will be playing every kind of Christmas music and movie I can find to try to get in the mood!
