Welcome December and the Christmas season! I can't believe that it is December already. I can't believe Chris has been home for over 2 months and Christmas is right around the corner. And again, we are so lucky to have him home. Gets me thinking about the troops who are not home with their families this time of year even more. And the sacrifices those soldiers make along with their families. For our family we just have to be thankful to have Chris home so this will not be a sad post but more of a thankful post. You know, after deployment you take nothing for granted. I mean nothing. Having your spouse in a foreign country for almost a year at a time makes you appreciate life and your family even more.
So this December I refuse to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the holidays. Of course Santa will come for Audrey and we will do our family gift exchange but I want take it back to when it was about being together rather than the amount of money spent at the mall. This is not a tradition most of us are accustomed to anymore with Black Friday craziness and the million "have you got your Christmas shopping done yet?" questions. This probably sounds lame to most but this year I want Audrey to appreciate Christmas for what it's about and appreciate time with our family rather than ever toy commercial. Well, that's just me and our Christmas. Merry Christmas!
