Merry Christmas

Okay, Christmas time is almost here and I'm finally getting in the Christmas spirit. I got my tree up, got all my gifts wrapped, now all I have to do is go to the grocery store and buy all the yummy stuff to eat on Christmas. Hmmm...what will we have? Mama and Doug are diabetic so that rules out sugar. Mama has to watch her fat due to clogged arteries, so that rules out grease and fat. Sugar free? Fat free? That doesn't leave much to fix. Hey, it's Christmas! Everybody deserves to eat good once a year! I'll fix what I want! And we'll have all kinds of sweet desserts, full of sugar and fat. Then after everybody eats and gets full, I'll go to bed and leave the dishes for somebody else! I have to work Christmas night :( If I do all the work of cooking, they can clean up the mess, right? Wrong! The mess will still be exactly where it was when I went to bed. But that's okay. It's my turn to be nice to everybody else and I'll clean it up. We'll be going to Doug's mom's on Christmas eve to open gifts at her house. That's always fun. I put Christmas flowers on Daddy's grave yesterday. I felt really close to him then. I still miss him but I know he's gone and he wouldn't want me to be sad and depressed. I'll still miss him on Christmas day, but I won't mope around about it. I have too many people here to love and enjoy. I think one year I'll spend Christmas at a mission and cook and serve for hundreds of homeless people. That would really make me thankful for all that I've got. I wish I could afford to buy new coats for all the homeless. Especially the kids. I'd better quit thinking about that now. I'm making myself depressed again. So let me take this opportunity to wish one and all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! And don't forget the true meaning of it. The birth of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! If it wasn't for Jesus, there wouldn't be a Christmas and we would all be doomed. So enjoy, eat, eat, eat. Don't watch sugar, fat or calories. It's Christmas!!
