I Hope Your Christmas Was As Good As Mine
The holiday season is hands down My least favorite time of year. I never look forward to it and if you've been a fan for some time, you know I generally hide indoors until it's over. This year hasn't been extremely different BUT there have been enough change that I'm not hiding indoors, I'm resting and taking a much needed break. Being self employed and needing to hustle 24/7, I haven't had a proper holiday vacation since I've started and this is the closest I can get this year.....peace. I can happily say that 2011 was the best Christmas I can remember in a long time.
I didn't have the Christmas spirit much this year in the merchandising/ decorating way, I did have a giving heart though. I decided against a tree and decorations this year and spent that extra money on gifts, cards and candy canes for church members. There are two little girls I kinda adopted at church so I shopped for them as I shopped for My son this year. I decided to spend the night at My parents house with My son so we could open gifts together as a family and then go to church.
My son was woke at 4:45 a.m. and ready to open all the gifts he saw under the tree. I told him it was way too early ( I had been on the phone til 3 a.m. Myself lol) I told him he could open 2 gifts and then he had to wait until 6:45 a.m. when we had set the alarm for. He opened his ps3 and some Diary of a Wimpy Kid cards and happily went back to sleep. 6:45 we woke My stepmom, grabbed the video camera and got to opening gifts. My son was more than ecstatic as he opened every single item he had asked for. When I asked him what his favorite gift was he proudly exclaimed " I got a lot of cool gifts but the best gift I got is My wonderful family" He is such a suck up BUT damn He know how to make his mama smile.
Not only is he a charmer but he is a heart breaker too at the young age of 11. When he had finished opening all his gifts he turned the surprise and camera on Me and handed Me a stack of gifts. The first thing I opened was a Betty Boop watch and bracelet set. Then he handed Me a bigger package and as I unwrapped it I found a treasure chest, when I opened it it was full of little treasures individually wrapped. See THIS is why I treat My son so good , he is such a special 1 of a kind child) He had picked out an assortment of costume jewelry for me including My favorite, turquoise, a sapphire ring and a lighted pill case. When I finished opening them all he told Me that he had picked each item out himself. I asked him how he knew what to get he told Me " When I walk in a jewelry store I know what My mommy likes" I could have cried, I swear.
We had breakfast and then My best friend picked u up for church; this was My first Christmas going to church ON Christmas. Until I became a Christian I didn't understand the significance, so this year I was happy and proud to be there. The message was great, My family was happy and for once, on Christmas, I was all smiles. After church we went back to My parents for dinner and then I went home to watch movies and relax. I was sleep early, probably before 9. It was such a great and peaceful day.

I'm happy to say that this peaceful Christmas was the Christmas of My dreams. I'd love to know how your Christmas was. leave a comment below and tell Me about it.
It is very heart-warming to read that your Christmas was so meaningful. You have a very special son, and family! My heart is smiling for you! Happy New Year!
