i will remember the ‘why’ of Christmas rather than the ‘what i have to do’ i will remember it’s a season of forgiveness i will remember to forgive others i will remember to forgive myself as well not an easy task but the ‘uneasies’ are the main part of Christmas and of faith… in love to you all… ---

I will remember that although I will be flat broke after Christmas it was all worth it to see people really appreciate their gifts. I will remember to keep track of what people want throughout the year so I don’t go crazy trying to think of a last minute gift. I will remember that no matter how much a love something I buy for someone as a gift it is still a gift and I must part with it, preferably without tears. I will remember that Domino’s is open on Christmas day, so when I’m hungry but otherwise content I don’t go wander in the car for a good half hour before finding food. More to come… Kitty ---

I will remember to save a bunch of money that would otherwise be wasted on unwanted gifts and go to Las Vegas for some fun next year. Last year I said the same thing but I caved to family guilt again this year. I’m glad it’s over anyway.
