Yesterday after the first service at church there was a family Sunday school, instead of the usual children's and adult classes that are separate. Complete with food (ahh us Lutherans like our food), music and crafts. Each family was able to make a Christmas tree to take home.
My littlest nephew Ryan, was having a wonderful time. Eating Aunt Nina's dounuts. And making his Christmas tree. I must say he did such a good job, he glued all the ornaments himself after I showed him how to get the glue going.
It is just over 2 weeks till Christmas day, and I have 1 decoration up. A nice table centerpiece my sister in law made for me. I just haven't had the time to put anything up, I am hoping today. I don't think I will get around to my iceicle lights that I usually put in all my window (how I love the look of them).
I have one 1 present bought, and not sure how we are going to pull off the rest. It seems like every year things get tighter and tighter and our daughter though she gets less presents they become more expensive. With classes starting up in January. However it seems that thing usually work out, and I am hoping for it to be this year also, I am going to try my hardest NOT to get stressed out about things, and hope my husband can do the same.
Yesterday watching the little guy made me remember what is important this time of year.

You know Anita, I firmly believe that Christmas brings the worst out of people. I think it all has to do with meeting deadlines, so the stress level is at its highest. I am trying to take on the AA saying, "one day at a time" and try to accomplish at least one thing a day. The biggie for me is trying to get my bathroom painted. I lost a week alread by being sick, and now my husband is coming down with the virus, Matt is working all the time and he is dogged tired when he gets home, so it looks like my bathroom may not be done for Christmas Eve. Oh well......As for gifts, well we do the best we can, and if anyone has a complaint, then let them take it to Jesus. I vowed not to stress this year, and that is exactly what I am doing. I much rather light my candles, look at my two trees all decorated and pretty and listen to Christmas music and just take in all the beauty that Christmas brings.
