Journaling:


He reads my blog! 


 


I was feeling anything but the happy holiday spirit I always have since childhood. I had commented on my blog about how lights mean Christmas more than snow to me. I also wrote that we hadn't put up a tree for the past two years because we celebrated at Pop’s house and I missed that. I hurt for that sparkle by day and peaceful glow at night in our home.


 


On Christmas Eve when I though I was waiting to go to dinner for our anniversary, Mike showed up and he and David put up the tree with glowing lights and shimmering garland. At dinner I was anxious to get home to the tree. The warm fuzzies eclipsed the holiday funk and I was ready to turn up the Christmas songs!
