Hi! Welcome to LilacsNDreams everyone! Christmas Day is almost here. A week from Wednesday already. Whew! Seems to be coming at us just a little quicker. So, are you ready for the celebrations? I so hope that everyone has some where to be, someone is visiting you, that you are able to celebrate Christmas in some way with family, friends, church, and pray you will not be alone.
I have loved Christmas as a child, and still enjoy celebrating the time with family, friends, neighbors, and we have always cooked meals, and opened our doors so no one has to be alone. This year is a little different for us, and a first time I am having mixed emotions about. We had made plans to travel to my sisters for Christmas on the weekend after Christmas Day. I reserved the motel for a couple nights, and we were going to sit and discuss the menu when I was there in person for the night. Well, before I could get there to talk with her I received a message that her, and her son decided that they would do Christmas on Christmas Day, and we could get together another time. I understand things being difficult this year, we are all dealing with things. But, I can say I am a little hurt by this, and feel cut off too. I did spend the night there, and celebrated Grand Daughters birthday, and my sister said nothing to me. It’s like it never happened, and it was no big deal. For first time for Christmas we are kind of left sitting.
So, now with this change of not celebrating the following weekend with family, schedules have changed a bit. On Christmas Eve I will be house/dog sitting for our friends so they can spend the night with their family celebrating. Then, since our plans changed my husband will then be taking his boss’s load so he can make a little money, and his boss…our friend can spend time with his wife’s family celebrating on Christmas Eve. Nothing like what was planned, and I am still in awe of how my sister cancelled us out. But, it is what it is. We will make do ourselves here.
I so wish for everyone to be able to celebrate Christmas in some way, some where. I truly do. It’s a special time of year that I hold precious, and just wish the best for everyone at this time of year. So, I am wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!! Happiest of New Year to all from LilacsNDreams. Take care, have fun, be safe, and enjoy the holiday everyone!!
