Where are you Christmas?

Tis the season, for Christmas to be over? No fair! I feel like it was just yesterday that we were moving furniture around to make room for our glorious tree. Christmas day is just like Thanksgiving dinner... you wait and wait all day (all month in this case) and within minutes, presents are unwrapped, and I am ready for a nap!
It was a nice Christmas this year. The kids still love Santa (they got what they wanted) and the day was filled with toys being played with, and visiting with family. I gained a gazillion pounds, untwisted a billion twist ties (toys) and snuggled in our new cozy jammies!!
So, now the 25th of December is no more. We must now wait for it to come again. I am torn: do I take the tree down today, or do it wait until the New Year? I am thankful for Christmas. For the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. I am grateful for his birth, life, death and resurrection. I am thankful for 2010. It was a good year. I hope 2011 brings the same amount PLUS some of memories, laughs, tears, conversations, reconnections, and lovely moments. Thank YOU readers!! Happy Reading

Or you can do the traditional 12 days of Christmas and finish up with King's Day (Twelfth Night) on January 6th. My kids used to like that - we'd clear the house of Christmas decorations and have cornbread for dinner with a dry bean baked in - whoever got the bean in their piece (strangely almost always the youngest child :))was the king for the evening - got to wear a crown and dictated what game, etc. The little celebration made the clearing away not so sad.
