This week’s statements:

1. I can’t believe_we are already in December_.

2. _All I want for Christmas is a real good tan_is my favorite Christmas song

3. If I don’t have my _"me time"__ in the morning, I cannot make it through the day.

4. I love my __son_ dearly but wish _he would just slow down a little_ .

The Decorations of Christmas

Last night I got home and my son had put up the Christmas tree. Okay, so that's not too bad. It's a small tree and very basic with decorations. I can live with it. Lights and a few ornaments. Nothing gaudy and obnoxious.

And then I came in to work this morning, where all this "scrooge" started... yesterday, the decorations were hung. You never really know how much you hate dislike garland, until it is EVERYWHERE!!!! Okay, small decorations are good. But when you come around EVERY corner and there is garland (of EVERY color) and then ornament balls....ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!

Bah - Buggin - Hum!!!! (from Olive, the Other Reindeer)

Holidays

Ok, I am not totally against the holidays, but it is Dec 1st. A couple women at work hung any decorations they had. Ok... overload! Can't do it. Too many decorations. I wanted to tear them down. Too soon, too many. Like I said, I don't mind the holiday, but too many decorations (especially on Dec 1st) is too many. I then came home and had to help decorate the tree. Aarrgghh!!!!!

Is this how Scrooge was born????

Ouch!

Last night I went to the gym. It feel so good to work out. I put my earbuds in and then I was in my own little world. There were so many people there, so it was tough to get on the equipment. I did the treadmill for 15 minutes, but my shins were kicking my ass after that. Several years ago, I  tore up my ankle pretty bad - third degree sprain and tore all the ligaments. Yep, so the wrong things make it sore... and guess what it looks like today? A grapefruit strategically placed between my foot and shin. Guess what I am NOT doing tonight?
Anyway... I did weights, the treadmill, some bicycling, and whatever else machines I could get on. And yes, I did sleep well last night.

How we celebrate the Holiday Season {What holiday is celebrated in your home}

In our house, we celebrate the standard Christmas holiday. My son has gotten into the swing of setting the tree up and getting the lights on the porch.

Typically, we spend Christmas Eve with my mom's side of the family, where we all get together after the Christmas Eve church service and socialize and eat munchies. On Christmas morning, we get up and open presents. We then have breakfast and go about the day, as normal. We then go to my brother's house in the afternoon and have an early dinner with my brother's kids.

The holidays are pretty relaxed in our house. No point in stressing over them.

That's pretty much how the holiday goes for us.
