Christmas is a time of sharing your thoughts with others, be they good or bad. I came from a poor family so Christmas was still good in my eyes as a child. We didn't have a lot of things under the tree like the kids do now. We did a lot of sledding during the holidays because we always had snow. Oh the good times in the snow. You really didn't need all of the new fangeled sleds like they have now either. My sled was usually one I borrowed off my cousin or a piece of cardboard.
We did go out this year and get a tree, a smaller one until we got it home. Yes, it was larger than we thought it was. Had to rearrange the living room just so everyone could see the TV. I went to put water in it and couldn't believe how much it was taking. Then I realized I was filling the plastic that would go over the tree when we take it down. That was a mess. Then all the needles were falling, the cats helped them along, and the dog was eating them as fast as she could before getting caught. Well the tree is officially down. The living room is back to normal again. So the Holidays are over. No tree, no lights, no mess until next year.
Wonder what this year will bring......
