I've been both. Yeppers...I will admit it! This year has been a bit difficult for me at times. Mr. HTB is the best husband because he looks past the naughty and focuses on the nice. THANK GOODNESS!
It's so hard to believe that we've done Halloween and Thanksgiving and we're working on Christmas! Honestly, where does the time go? Days string together like the garland on the tree and by the time we know it we're breaking that tree down and gearing up for a new year, a new beginning, a new day.
My house is decorated, albeit, not like it used to be when I had time to help Mr. HTB string the lights upon our home. But it's festive in it's decor with Nutcrackers watching over us and garland lit with a twinkle. Jake & Laney find something new to look at each day and help to remind me what this season is all about. For some, it's Jesus, for others it's a festival of lights and for others it's about family. Some begrudge the capitalism of Christmas while others dive in with open hearts and wallets. So however you may feel about this season remember we all share in it's infinite joy of watching our children {be it your own children or not} on Christmas morning as they wake us with joyful amazement of what that jolly old man has left for them. To me, that is what Christmas is about. Joy. Simple Joy.
So to all you Ebenezer's, Grinch's & bah~hum~buger's out there I hope that you can find some joy in this season!
