Christmas is a season where people stress out and have had enough. Normally I'm excited, stressed, etc. This year is so very different. I'm not way excited about the gifts or the wrappings. I tried to buy more thoughtful gifts, things people can use. This season has come without the holiday stress and with a whole different thought process.
As Christmas approaches, I have a feeling of inner peace. All I want for Christmas this year is for my family and friends to know they are loved. I'm feeling very grateful for the life that I have. Even Black Friday was different because of all the pushing and shoving for 5 or 10 dollar gifts. Normally I'd get right in there, but this year I kind of stood back. I met some fun people though.
I didn't get Christmas cards done, but oh well! I hope my family and friends know how much I truly love and appreciate them. My mom made a few trips down here to be with me for my miscarriage appointment and surgery. My dad had to sacrifice his secretary and made sure she was down here. I've had people come in and clean my house, listen to me cry, etc. I know I have a Heavenly Father that knows me and knows when to send certain people into my home when I need it. I can't say thank you enough for all the people that have helped in prayers, Brax's baptism, with my calling, etc.
I hope that we all can have a great Christmas and remember why we really celebrate. It's not about the gifts, it's about the birth of our Savior who came in a manger and was wrapped in swaddling clothes. He was born into meager means. I can't say how grateful I am for his birth and example. Merry Christmas from the Anderson clan.
