I love Christmas. I love the Christmas music. I love the shopping, the wrapping, the hunt for the perfect gift. Christmas decorations are a delight to see. I love the anticipation of getting or giving really great gifts. Watching the boys get all excited in the days before and the morning of just fills me with happiness. I love the food. It gives us all an excuse to just eat all damn day and night. Yum. The gathering of family even is more enjoyable the older I get. There isn't a thing about this day that I don't enjoy. What I don't like is it to end. I don't know about the rest of you, but I get that feeling of sadness when I feel the day ending. Sucks. I want it all to go on. It just seems that all the work and anticipation put into the day are gone in such a short time. And that's not even thinking about taking down the decorations, packing away the tree, finding room for all the newly acquired toys for the boys. But then again, I do look forward to the sales tomorrow morning and that is starting to cheer me up already............

So as this evening draws to a close, I want to say-again-Merry Christmas to everyone. I hope your day was wonderful and spent with family, friends, and those you love. In the next few days I will be posting what everyone got for Christmas, as well as many photographs.

To the Gazley side of the family and my brother and sister: We really did you miss you all these past couple days. I can't wait to see each of you as soon as we can!
