In all the hubub.. I just had to say enough... when is enough..enough?!... This is my Christmas wish this year.. for you my blog friends and family..Peace..
Our Nation...our 'times'...are soo much in turmoil... "Me..me..I ..I.." all that kinda thinking has gotten us in this mess we are in right now.. I'm guilty of it.. our family is okay.. but I do pray for those who have lost much...
That's why we have a "Charlie Brown" tree this year... I just had to say enough! Oh my goodness in years past..I had to have the biggest and fullest live tree.. coolest and fabulous decoration for the season...It's just something in my heart that has been tugging at me "Keep it simple..it's not all about that.."
I want the Joy returned..it's not gonna be in maxing out the cards for gifts for the boys.. my goodness, I just took three bags of toys to storage! Some where.. the meaning was lost..no stuff..it's about Christ..
I haven't pulled out every last decoration... nope there are no lights on outside... this wee tree I actually put up all by myself... there were a few protests at first..but everyone has embraced it.. We're just taking day by day... Letting the true Spirit of Christmas lead us....simple is best sometimes.. {Yeah..the boys actually think this little tree is cool. go figure?!}
Happy Tuesday!
