Author: Would I be a total scrooge if I admitted that I don’t get excited about the holidays? I don’t like the added stress. I don’t like how busy people get. And I really don’t like how consumer driven the holidays are. All everyone cares about is presents. What they are getting. What they are getting other people. What happened to when the holidays meant being with your family and the ones you love? I couldn’t care less about presents. I enjoy seeing Skyler’s face light up while we are making sugar cookies and seeing the Christmas tree lit up.
We made cookies this weekend. He got a special tree for his room this weekend and we made a few little ornaments for it. I have photos of the cooking making, but none of the tree yet. Those I will get tomorrow.
And another reason for not liking the holidays? It gets too COLD. I’m tired of the cold weather. I’m tired of the talk of snow. Give me sun. Give me heat. Put the jackets away. Put the long sleeve shirts away. No more scarves, mittens, coats, winter hats. I want summer! Ugh… How many more months of winter are left???

I understand what you mean. I’m sorry about the cold! ((Jess))
I agree about not caring about getting presents, but I truly enjoy getting gifts for others. We are just doing the kids this year but I so love watching them with their gifts. The whole holiday season is nice though, because I enjoy the other things you mentioned – baking, family, decorating and looking at everyone else’s decorations. And the kids love that too!
As for winter..we had our first winter storm and I am already ready for spring. I didn’t even leave the house :P So I get you there.
