Anyone else disappointed by their christmas??

Just found out that everyone is putting Christmas Eve/ Christmas on hold for me until I can get back on Sunday! (I work tomorrow and by the time I get off, it'll be WAY past dark.)

rodriguezpoultry, you've got a good bunch there. Our bunch, on the other hand, opted to do Christmas on the 25th and then a repeat on Sat. for bro/sil who were stuck in NE Ok and couldn't make it home to Tx

We are really sacrificing, having two big meals, just so they won't feel left out

Ive had dissapointing christmas' in the past, due to money trouble and not being able to buy a gift for everyone. This year I got everyone not just one present but a few, so I am happy about that. I saw a lot of the family. This was my first christmas without my dad around, but it wasn't as "sad " a day as it coulda been. We had a gingerbrea house competition, and my live-in-nephew participated not because he wanted to, but because I asked him too...that was prtetty cool

......This christmas was actually pretty awesome

looking back at yesterday, it's one of the best Christmas' I've ever had.

I just kept looking at that Brinsea full of eggs and couldn't stop smiling.

Christmas was better when we believed in Santa

i didnt have a bad christmas just that my living room is still not completed! Its a renovated house we have been working on for the past 5 years. we deceided to put a sliding glass doors in the living room in august! yeah and its december!!! walls are up and all (yes they had to all come down) and anyways the walls are mudded but still not completed! ugh!
so i wanted to have xmas eve at our house with the family but yeah that didnt happen (went somewhere else! another family members house) and so our living room has been in the dining room (couches etc.) thats the only frustrating things this christmas (its really small tho)
so other than that, familys happy and healthy! owell!

life go's on!! and yeah i am on the computer while at work!

Reading this made me want to repost an earlier post I did... I typically dont care for Christmas either but this year had to be different.....


My greatest gift came from Complete strangers...The amazing joy of seeing my children happy.... This year there wasnt gonna be much under the tree (even less then the last two years), so when I was approached by my 4 yo DS's teacher to sign up for there giving tree I practically jumped at the offer.. Very seldom in my life have I ever taken charity, but with how much my boys have had to miss out on since coming into my life, I felt that this year should be different for them.. So in all my children got to open more presents then they have ever been able to open.. They received brand new mattresses for their beds..( The youngest was sleeping on a toddler mat. in a full bed) We are moving this week back home so I redecorated there whole new/old bedroom with stick up moon and stars which is what they both wanted.. They now have more clothes for school then I have been able to buy all year , and they are brand new.. They have toys to play with (I hadnt realized how few they had til packing to move)... New games ,books, hats and scarfs, shoes, coats , hoodies etc......All the things I havent been able to get them... Santa even brought me few new things .. A pair of jeans , a pair of work pants, new shirt , new shoes , and a Wool 6 button Pea Coat that i have been wanting forever.. YAY No more going to meetings in my ratty three year old hoodie... Sorry i got kinda long winded... I just want to recognize all the kind souls who made an the Holidays such an amazing time for my family... To all of you who were able to help others this season.. Thank YOU.. you truly don't know how much it means to others... Blessings
