christmas -2018

Christmas came and went. Did you get to enjoy time with your family? I did! I got to spend it with my daughter.

This year the ceramic Christmas tree is making a comeback.

This is the worst Christmas news ever...

I would love to get these as a Christmas gift!

It seems every year I learn about the weirdest things when it comes to Christmas. I remember the first year I learned about Krampus (long before a movie was mad) and then the Christmas pickle. This year I have learned about something called the Yule Cat.

We are so close to Christmas and Christmas is a day of love and giving and spending time with your family and friends. Why not do something amazing this year before Christmas. In fact, you can give a priceless gift, the gift of life. By giving that gift you can put something in your stocking.

There is a lot of togetherness this time of year. There is also a lot of stress. You want to make sure that your relationship does not become a casualty.

I remember my very first Christmas as a single mom. I was quite nervous about how I was going to make this all work.

Let's face it Christmas is about food. I know, I know, Christmas is about family and friends, giving and the birth of Jesus, but c'mon, it's about food. We eat a ton of food during this time of year and 1/2 a ton of candy, so it's no surprise that Texas has a popular candy.

We actually started this years ago. Faith was pretty young. It started when we would go to Midnight Mass, before it was moved to an earlier service.

It is the thought that counts.....right? It's that time of the year you have to think that. But what if that thought was you need to exercise?

It happens A LOT. You see those kids that are thrilled about seeing Santa Clause. It took a long time for me to get those kind of kid with Santa pictures.
