May Your Christmas Be Bright ...

Today I made Active Rain the first thing I do instead of the last thing I think about before I drift off to sleep ...

I have been so busy! My Staging business is taking off resulting in no time to prepare for Christmas. I have been running like road runner trying to get everything done. I think I have achieved it! Well, this is the day that we just say, "Well if I haven't done it by now it can wait." OR "What I have forgotten is just that. I will take care of it after Christmas."

Our Christmas is a mix. My father in law is in failing health and in the hospital. This is the 3rd or 4th stay there since October. He was always an active man, working 7 days a week but now is inactive; confined to a wheelchair. I love this man; he has been like a father to me for 35 years. I met him before I met my husband. This has been especially hard on my husband as he bears the weight of caring for his father. Anyway, God willing he will get out of the hospital this evening. I doubt he will come to our house - where we are gathering - but there will be comfort for each of us knowing he is out ...

Tonight - I'm having 10 for a light dinner. My kids, my daughter in law's sisters & parents are coming. I am looking forward to it. All SEVEN dogs will be here also - running in the yard and begging for food. LOL I love it! Tomorrow we will do breakfast at our house again followed by dinner at my sons.

I hope all of you can be surrounded by family & loved ones this Christmas.

God Bless Everyone ...
