Holiday Spirit


I am in an exceptional mood! I have got the holiday spirit. It is kind of early but it has hit. This is really the first time in a few years I have felt it so strong. Sure, most Christmas' I am happy, but not necessary as much as I could be. I know that sounds corny. But I think I have been living somewhat in a hole the last few years because I wasn't well. I think I was having mild depression and didn't realize it until my doctor diagnoised my being tired all the time to this. Now looking back I can see I wasn't my self because I was only halfway doing things. For example let's just get one box of decorations out instead of all of them.
We went to a Christmas ball last night. It reminded me of a Cinderella ball. I had a great time dancing with my husband to ball room dancing tunes as well as a few more modern. We socialized with quite a few people that we haven't seen in some time. I watched two of my young nieces dance with their Dad and saw the wonders of Christmas through their eyes. It was their first such affair and having always practiced with dress-up all their lives for such an occasion to actually wear a gown like Cinderella, I could see their awe and excitement. My own two boys didn't come but I may let them next year.
Today we went and got our tree from a farm where you go on a hay ride and cut your own down. I was glad to have a new video camera to capture the moment as my boys are only going to be young once. I want to always remember these times when I am old and think back. This is a prime time in my life. And in my children's . It is almost a bittersweet time as I know one day they will be grown, but then I hope I'll have the grandbabies around. IT is just something about seeing Christmas through a child's eyes that is exciting. Both of my boys will be in Christmas plays this year. I am looking forward to that.
