All I know this Christmas

I love this blog, but I never blog. I think about it, and what I will say, but never get to it. I am going to try to blog more, shorter, blogs to keep this going. I hope I can do it.

Christmas is frustrating to me. I want to enjoy it. I want to have that special Hallmark Channel moment with my kids. But somewhere in between going completely broke and going to every performance, party and event, my spirit gets run over. I can't balance making my kids happy with presents and not spending a fortune.

All I know is my kids are what gives me my Christmas spirit. Seeing their happy faces and spending time with them is all I could ask for in this life. I wonder how I could be so lucky to have such healthy, happy kids who try so hard to be good.
