Limping forward.............

Though I said the other day that Christmas this year makes me sad.......... I don't want anyone to think I have given up on the holiday completely.  

Nope no way...

There is a little bright star inside me that every so often twinkles just a little brighter.

Many years ago I used to make all my own Christmas cards.  I realized this year I have all kinds of time to go back to that ............ and so ... for the last few weeks I have been making a few cards every morning before I start my day (so to speak)   On Monday I finished the last one - I had made 30 cards (give or take a card or two ) for W and I to send out to friends and family.

Here's a sample of the cards...............(you can click on the pics for a larger view)

 
Yesterday the snow helped make that lil star shine just a bit brighter.  AND W agreed that I could turn on the reindeer last night...........

Today I am going to pull out the Christmas boxes - gonna find the decorations that will work/fit into our little home ............... I think I might even put up the Christmas tree that I have been grinching about.  It just isn't Christmas without a tree.  Where would I put all the presents??!!

and oh yeah - I have finished all the Christmas shopping too................

So maybe - just maybe - Christmas will limp right up and fill this house with the holiday spirit................ maybe.
