Holiday Season

  Sorry I haven't been updating. Just when I think there is nothing to tell everyone about, there are hundreds of things!! 

I won I won I won!!! I won the biggest battle of the holiday season. Christmas tree or not? What is Christmas without a tree? Where is Santa going to put my presents?
  Well, the Christmas tree went up, and being an only child this holiday season, it was decorated with all of my beautiful ornaments. The glow of a Christmas tree at night is my absolute favorite! My mom decided that since neither of my brothers would be home for Christmas, we weren't having a tree. I had the genius idea to buy a fake tree a Target and put in the place of her favorite chair in our TV room when she wasn't home. My dad loved my idea and didn't discourage me from doing so. Then finally she caved!

  Our other holiday battle was whether or not I was going to be receiving my Hallmark ornaments I have been getting every year since I was born. I was in udder disbelief my own mother would deprive her children of this tradition!!!!  My Grandma started all of her grandchild on a special Hallmark series. Mine just so happen to be the Precious Moments, which I have all but 2. I am a sucker for anything with sentimental value, if I only received one gift for Christmas it would be my ornament. It makes my heart smile knowing that My Grandma, who passed away 10 years ago, is celebrating the holiday with us in spirit. Since Hallmark also started my name sake series "Gone With The Wind" I also receive a Scarlett and Rhett ornament. I tell myself every year I am going to watch the movie all 238 minutes of it. I will one day!


I also caught up with Santa and Mrs. Clause this year. They informed me that I was a very good girl and my trip to Costa Rica was well deserved! He even gave me an extra candy cane! Better than the coal he gave me a few years back.

Oh I failed to mention that being an only child for the holiday was HORRIBLE!
