I don't have a good track record when it comes to Holiday Seasons...there was one we didn't even acknowledge after my husband was robbed at gunpoint and I was a hot mess every time he left the house.....neither one of us were handling the after effects well, but I had an emotional breakdown....the next year we were putting in a new window and chose not to put up the decorations b/c our house was so small the tree was in the way for the Bay window installation, and let's face it, no tree = no Christmas..it's just not the same! The following year we moved into our newly built home on the 23rd of December so we didn't "really" have Xmas here then (although who could ask for a better present?!), the year after that my husband and I were temporarily separated (because I was temporarily insane).....THEN...there were 2 good years of Holidays.....
3 years ago, we were sad because we STILL weren't pregnant and everyone we knew either was or was already celebrating with their children/newborns...(mind you, my 1st son was conceived that Christmas Eve!) The following year was Griffin's 1st Xmas, but it was the 1st Xmas for me in 30 years without both my parents (who moved 1200 miles away in November) & my grandma who had passed away during my pregnancy, so I was just plain miserable.....**taking a breath**....then the following year I was 9 1/2 months pregnant (again) and was miserable, fat, out of breath and ready to be done with pregnancies (delivered on the 28th).......NEEDLESS TO SAY, I'm very excited for Christmas this year :) I'm looking forward to the decorations, the music, the excitement for the boys, the baking, the EVERYTHING! I have never in all my life listened to Christmas music early....and today we listened, we danced and we sang! Bring it on Santa! We're healthy, happy, & ready for you this time! ♥
