But thankfully Keilee is always so excited about Christmas that it makes it easier for me to get into the Christmas spirit. We try to do some of the same things we did when she was younger. Read Christmas picture books, bake a lot, watch a lot of Christmas movies. Up until last year I even did Elf on the Shelf. That being said I am always so glad when it was over. I'm glad I saw your blog link on FB Diane. I didn't realize you were blogging again!! I'm so glad!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00487026746937164012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542715593318774385.post-11846662592131422072014-12-27T05:50:15.818-08:002014-12-27T05:50:15.818-08:00I don't think you're alone.

We realized with a college student coming in late and 1 getting their wisdom teeth out, that shopping at the last minute wasn't fun, but more of a chore to celebrate a holiday the way it is "supposed" to be celebrated. We've decided it is our last year of doing Christmas in the traditional way. Hope you have a blessed rest of the holidays.Mickeyzeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01906475318669884530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542715593318774385.post-54184078294154060002014-12-27T04:53:00.030-08:002014-12-27T04:53:00.030-08:00I have wondered myself why some years are filled w...I have wondered myself why some years are filled with the spirit and other years are not. This year I really enjoyed the holiday and my husband was the one who was a bit blah.....(I blame work). It is interesting winding our way through changing family stages. The little stage is so different than this in-between stage and I'm sure when they are on their own it will be different still. I hope you find time to enjoy yourself and your family and just take comfort in your togetherness.

...Diane,<br />I just wrote a similar post this morning!<br /><br />Although we were blessed to have some sweet family moments this year, everything just feels different.<br /><br />Christmas has always been so much about having little kids, that when they grow up, it just seems different.<br /><br />So, just know you're not alone!<br /><br />Blessings for the New Year!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02175369457303282525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542715593318774385.post-11102244032179354812014-12-26T18:34:14.798-08:002014-12-26T18:34:14.798-08:00I know how you feel, Diane.

Thankfully, God's grace does not depend on our feelings, moods or holiday spirit!adaileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02641688675857965258noreply@blogger.com
