Let it SNOW!

Been a while, huh?! Just thought I'd upload our Christmas card picture. I tried to take alot, but ya know, sometimes even 20 or so don't turn out. This one was the best of them all, but it looks blurry to me up close. Oh well. I had 35 copies made. No sense in wasting them.

So guess what happened today!!!! It started to SNOW!!!!! Oh, how I love the snow before Christmas. Now if I see it on December 26 or after, I'll cry. I hate the time after Christmas. I get so depressed & sad. I'm hoping the anxiety/depression pills will be work & I won't feel so sad. But I have a confession--I'm already starting to feel sad that it's going to be over in a few weeks. And Christmas isn't even here yet. Pathetic, right?

Speaking of feeling sad, have you heard this song, A Candy Cane Christmas, by Darius Rucker

I like it. But at the same time, it makes me feel sad. Sort of nostalgic or something like that. I don't know. Just reminds me of the magic of Christmas when I was little. And the magic my own kids feel this time of year. Or used to, I should say, for Sarah. Just sad. (sigh) It's tough, ya know. I love this time of year, because of the giving, the sharing, & caring. It somehow brings out the best in {most} people. And it's so magical. To see the twinkle in people's eyes, especially Brittany's. And it's sad that this might be the last year for that magic. Sarah lost that twinkle a few years ago, & let me tell ya, I took it hard. Cried for days.

Anyway, I'm very sentimental, so that's why I take things like that so hard. Silly of me, huh?

Ahem.. On to other things... We got our tree up a week before Thanksgiving. It looks so sparkly & colorful! Jamie had to buy new lights for it. Maybe it's because the lights are new that it looks so pretty. I don't know, but I love it!
