Christmas Was Fantastic

I hope that you enjoyed Christmas as much as I did this year. Although I feel like I gained about five pounds over the course of two or three days, I have to admit that I had an amazing time. While Christmas has never been a holiday that I disliked, there have been years when I didn’t feel like I really enjoyed myself during this season. Fortunately, 2008 was a really good year in my life, so when the Christmas season arrived, I was able to enjoy it to its fullest extent.

Because I have a lot of family members, we actually spread our celebration over Christmas Eve and Day. One side of my family spends Christmas Eve together, while the other side spends Christmas Day together. I really enjoy this arrangement, because it allows everyone to enjoy their time together without feeling rushed.

While presents aren’t what I focus on during this time of the year, I do have to say that I loved the gift my husband got me. He picked out a piece of 14K gold jewelry for me, and I like it so much that I have already been wearing it.
