to my sweet blog readers. I love you all and I apologize for being MIA lately. This year, Christmas hasn't been what I was hoping for....
-This morning, Alex woke us not with eagerly wanting to open presents but telling us he is sick and had been "getting sick" all morning. Sigh.
-Yesterday, I had lots of Christmas presents still to buy so I braved the outside world only to see when I got home that someone had hit my car on the driver's side door. I now have a dent and a scratch, but no note from the driver who hit me. :(
-On Tuesday, Ted and I came back from a nice lunch to find ALL OF MY CHRISTMAS CARDS THAT I SENT RETURNED ON MY FRONT PORCH (which was WET from the rain that day). Ready to cry, I found the note that said that there was not enough postage. Sigh. I already went to the post office where they assured me that two stamps were enough. So I went back, stood in line for an hour for the lady to tell me that it was enough and to send them again. I told her she was crazy to think that I was going to resend them....so she postmarked them and said she would talk to someone and assured me they would be okay. On Wednesday, seven of them came back. Luckily, they were people I would see so no worries. But if you didn't receive a card from me. PLEASE know that I tried! It has been such an ordeal to send Christmas cards! lol
-I have been fighting a sinus infection/cold for a week. I just got over it to give it to my husband, who is now upstairs coughing. :(
To be honest, with so much going on it hasn't felt like Christmas. But I keep reminding myself that He is the reason for the season and it is not about the presents or the parties, but Jesus. It is the one thing that I am focusing on today that is making me smile. :)
So from my family to yours, MERRY CHRISTMAS! I pray that your Christmas is going smoothly and you are enjoying the day.

I am so sorry that things have not been going so well. I can relate as I am here in OH and not in PA due to illness too. But like you said --- it's allowed me when all of the presents and stuff are stripped away (for now) to spend some time thinking about God's gift to us on this day. Too often I think about it then let it pass and this year the good thing is that I have really focused on it. Not quite what we imagined today would be like but I guess we have no other choice but to make the best of it huh? I am so hoping you can find some joy and happy memories today. And by the way, I got my card and LOVED IT! Thank you.
I'm sorry that you've had such a rough time lately! I can't believe that about your car and the cards! Crazy! I do wish you and your family a very merry Christmas!
So sorry to hear you've had such a rough time with things lately. It will get better!! {{{{HUGS}}}}
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
I am so sorry your Christmas sounds a lot like mine LOL. One of my twins seem to be fine on Christmas Eve (the other one has been ill for two weeks) and then when it came time for dinner she said she felt like she was going to be sick and then she was and it lasted all night and then again right after she opened her gifts poor thing I don't think she will forget this Christmas for a very long time. Hugs to you and your family.
