Mixed feelings…
Do you love the busy, hustle and bustle before
Christmas? The secret gift shopping… the scent of extra yummy cookies greeting
you at the front door of your home… the kitschy music in each and every single
store you enter? I always loved it. The whole excitement. The anticipation of
home, of family and all reunited.
But some things have changed. Have altered my
feelings towards this merry holiday in such a
way that I some days wished the day would not come or I could jump some
weeks ahead and leave skip it. You see Christmas like no other holiday is about
family and being all happily together. But what do you do, if … if families are
not together anymore…? If, I dare say it, if they crumble … fall apart. Well
then this time of year is probably not your friend. And I want to be real and
honest. I have very mixed feelings about Christmas. I love it and I dread it.
At.the.same.time.
