sorry.
I just needed to have a good laugh at the idea of me being grateful for a christmas tree. cause you know, I'm not.
Christmas and I ain't exactly BFFs.
But i have children. CHILDREN. who think Christmas is fun. and want to listen to Christmas music. and can't wait for Santa to bring them presents. and who expect a Christmas tree. they're like little Christmas extremists. especially Miss G. She met Santa this past weekend at our family's Christmas party.
and while she may look all sweet and innocent here, what you actually can't see is that she is ripping that package out of Santa's hand like a woman with pms whose found chocolate. I think even Santa was suprised by the amount of strength coming out of such a small person.
anyway, the babes, but especially Miss Georgiana wanted a Christmas tree. like now. even though it's only DECEMBER 4TH. there is going to be a Christmas tree in my house for like 20 days. okay 21. I deliberately place the tree next to my front door so that the day after Christmas when The Marsh leaves for work, I take everything off the tree and then push it out the front door.
I'm not kidding even the least bit.
all of this is really fascinating, right? the problem however? I still haven't technically been grateful for anything.
sigh.
I guess I'll go ahead and say that I am grateful that the one thing I tend to actually be organized in my life with is my Christmas tree ornaments. don't ask me why i am. the only other thing i have OCD about it how I fold my towels. but i have to put all the ornaments back into their original boxes and i have special wrapping for the extra fragile stuff.
it all seems like a pain to put away at the time. but i tell you what, on nights like tonight when it comes time to decorate the tree again? it's pretty fucking handy. and i'm always grateful to myself for taking the time to put things away neatly the year before. there's never any broken ornaments or wondering where this one is or that one is. it's all together. as a mom of two young children, i'm always grateful for anything that happens quickly and efficiently. (read into that what you like)
anyway. I think it came out okay, right?
right.
Thanks for reading!
