P365 - 2013 - Day 333 - Be Merry!
I am not going to lie. I wanted my house to be done for Christmas. I wanted to have everything put back together so we could decorate our new home and continue our holiday traditions.... But it appears that we are not going to be back in the house for Christmas. I came to terms with this the other day and decided that I could either be upset and miss out on all of the moments that will come this holiday season whether we are in the house or not, or I could pull on my big girl pants and get over it and just enjoy those moments. I love Christmas. I love everything that leads up to Christmas, not just the day. I do love the decorating - and while we will be downsizing our decorating while we stay in our friends' house, we will still make it festive. I enjoy making cookies and when I mentioned to my neighbor last night that the one problem was my cookie press was packed away and hard to get to at the moment, it turned out that she had the exact same one and offered it to me to use - so cookie making, here I come! I enjoy all of the fun things you can do before Christmas and one thing I have been wanting to do for years has been to see Santa come in on the boat in Barnegat Light - so tonight we went with friends to welcome the big, jolly guy and the Mrs. to LBI. I couldn't help but feel merry and festive just seeing that red suit. Things might be a bit different this year, but we are making some new traditions along with tweaking some of the old ones for an adventurous Christmas - the important part is we are together. But hey if Santa has any pull and can get the house done quicker.... I am not above putting that on my list this year. Either way... Christmas is still on it's way and it is time to Be Merry!
