O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

How lovey are your branches.....

Well we finally got it up today - and decorated too! Some how it feels that is all is more right with the world when you have lights and a smell of pine and bayberry in the air. Unfortunatley, our stove is broken so I have not baked anything yet. I will have to make some squares that do not require baking. So I don't have the smell of anything baking in the case that you were wondering.

This is the first year I feel an enourmous amount of pressure to not disappoint my girls...they are so excited - they half believe in Santa Claus and if I get just the right thing I might be able to keep the faith that is faltering - alive. I realize it is all a plot to get you to spend spend spend - but their eyes shine with such excitment - if I didn't have a reasonable husband to answer to I would most likely buy all that is on the list. I would pay with stress and more debt but their eyes - their excitment - it is so beautiful and innocent - I want to give them everything even if it is not a good life lesson BUT.....I cant find that frekd3^$#@&(@$* Crystal Rainbow Castle. It does not seem to be sold in Canada and no company from the US will ship to Canada. Oh well....

Well gotta sleep - church tomorrow - the kids do their Christmas Play.

Love, Joy, Peace, to you all.
