Good Evening!
We've made it through another Holiday! Christmas can be really stressful for me, and I'm not really sure why. Okay, I'm lying - I know exactly why. I just feel like Christmas for Scott and I has become something that it really shouldn't be. I just feel like some people in our families, don't seem to understand the true meaning of Christmas. To me - Christmas is only about one thing; spending time with the people that you love the very most in life. I will admit that growing up, I probably didn't appreciate this notion. In fact, I remember on certain Christmas mornings, acting like a spoiled rotten brat because "Santa" forgot something "important." However, as I've grown to learn that material things won't get you too far in life, I really just wish we could all get back to the basics. A time of the year that is supposed to be so joyous and happy turns into this huge migraine that consistently gets more and more intense as the days pass on.
This year, was of course very different for us. With me being on bed rest, everyone had to take things down a notch as far as scaling the Christmas scene to a point of being out of control. Plus, everyone had to come to us. No running around to 5 different checkpoints to make sure that we see everyone and oh don't forget - exchange pointless gifts. This year, we almost avoided the gift giving nonsense completely! I was so overjoyed when our families agreed to throw it out for once! We only had to buy gifts for the kids, (which is actually appropriate in my opinion.) It was so strange this year not to track all over Indianapolis until our heads start spinning; strange in a good way. So all in all, this was probably BY FAR the best Christmas I've had since I've been with Scott, and for that, I am very thankful.
