It is December 12th and I am ready for Christmas to be over. As if our lives were not busy enough, we through in extra parties, suppers, gifts and errands to be done. I have never been a big fan of Christmas as it has become a commercialized holiday and the true meaning has gotten lost. It is not about gifts and Santa, it is about celebrating our Lord and Saviors birth. We have 2 weeks worth of non stop things we need to attend along with work and chores at home. I learned really quickly that the farm doesn't stop even though Christmas is upon us. Actually it gets busier. Once again we have snow on the ground before the ground had a chance to freeze so we are doing chores in a sloppy mess. We don't have warm enough or big enough cabs for Lyndin to ride with so Will is stuck to doing chores by himself. Luckily they only take about an hour as being in zero degree weather for to long is hard on a person. Lyndin unhappily watches from the house and prayers for it to warm up. It has been hard on us both having to be inside, but with this cold weather inside it the best option.
We have gotten Lyndin a few small gifts from Santa for her to open so she can experience some of the hype even though she won't understand what is going on. On Wednesday we will go to the annual Soup with Santa in Lawler. We will see how she will behave this year as she is more aware of her surroundings. Then we start Christmas celebrates on Thursday until after Christmas.
I look forward to seeing all our family and friends and getting to spend time with them, but is Christmas over yet?
