I survived Christmas 2008!

Phew, made it through another Christmas season!! I probably gained a few more greys (shh don't tell anyone) but I made it. Ok ok so I probably gained more then a few but who is counting. Don't get me wrong I like Christmas and all but wow people are crazy. I am not one that enjoys shopping at any point of time so holiday shopping can really be a dreaded task. People this year were killing each other for toys and all that crazy crap! Is a stupid toy worth it??? No I don't think so. It's almost like the ladies that fight you for the slot machine in a casino (ya know the ones playing 3 machines at a time) and then spend all their money in the machine and not even get any money back. Then you laugh at them especially if you found one that wins (ok maybe thats just me that does that.)

Anywho made it through the overeating, the rushing around to the family's house and the living room that will take months to look the same. I really put up a good fight to exercise my right to a living room that I can at least step foot in without stepping on polly pocket however it was a losing battle. That's ok though because it is worth the look on kids faces when they see all the presents that Santa brought them. Of course you end up with wrapping paper, plastic, boxes and toys from one end of the room to another but hey at least the kids are happy. It is really amazing how much time people put into preparing themselves for Christmas and then the day comes and poof it is over for a full year. Can we understand how glad I am that Christmas only comes once a year!
