I didn't really get into the Christmas spirit this year because so many things have been going on. With my Grandpa's passing it was tough to celebrate because I felt a little bit guilty. I barely managed to get Christmas cards out this week. Thank God for one hour photo or I would not have been able to get my Christmas cards out this year! With all of the sadness in my heart I never got around to decorating the Christmas tree. The tree is up but there are no decorations on it this year.
My sister and my nephew just boarded a plane back to South Carolina this morning and we are going to miss them. They were supposed to spend Christmas and the New Year with us but the funeral brought them out sooner than expected and they had to head back home. My nephew is a handful but is he is as cute as a button! He keeps my sister very busy to say the least!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to each and every one of you. I hope that 2013 brings you all much happiness and many PR's!
Do you have big plans for the holidays?
I think we are going to stay close to home and relax. We are also planning a trip to Disneyland. My son has been wanting to visit Cars Land since it opened.
I am also determined to hit 1000 miles this year and I am about 41 miles away from hitting my goal! I will be busy working on this goal as well!
Celebrating the holidays after losing someone you love it always tough! Give yourself the space to grieve and love on others!! I hope you have a great Christmas and a healthy 2013!!
ReplyDeleteThank You Nancy! I hope you and your beautiful little family have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
DeleteSo sorry to hear about your grandfather. He is in a very special place (to say the least). Take the time to grieve. - Enjoy the time you have with family. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. God bless.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comforting thoughts. I know he is in a better place but it just makes the holidays a little less joyful this year. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your beautiful little family too :)
DeleteMerry Christmas! I'm sorry your grandfather isn't able to spend it with you this year but you know he is watching over you!
ReplyDeleteYes Missy, I know that he is watching over us. I just wish he could have hung in until after the holidays. I didn't think that we would be without him this year. I hope you and your family have a great holiday season!
DeleteMerry Christmas Sandy! Hoping you were able to relax today...
ReplyDeleteThank You Marissa. Christmas was very relaxing! Merry Christmas to you and your family as well!
DeleteHope your holiday was beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was a little stressful with my Grandpa's funeral but we made the best of it. Hope yours was great as well!
