I'm so happy your doing great enough to decorate this year.Your house looks beautiful
I envy your joy this year

I am the opposite this year.I'm in too much pain to do much of anything and that can cause deep depression.I hope a miricle happens but I doubt it.Looks like I'm in this for the long haul.
And I decided on not sending Christmas cards out either this year(A first for me).
I'll be at the Doctors half the month of December anyway
Checking this that or the other thing to see if the can operate more on my back and maybe a fusion in the neck as well.
I only have enough energy for my furbabies/with Mike's help.He's been great lately helping now that he accually stopped thinking of himself long enough to see the pain I'm in.I'm greatful for that this Christmas(Mike's help )

That's lovely Jen, I think generally it's harder when you grow up to get into the festive spirit. Christmas is all for Children really. My family are all grown up, and the neices and nephews are all young teens and there's no excitement anymore now. Just the slog of spending money you can't afford!!!
But it's great that you've made and effort, and that's what we all have to do!
I'm going to send you a Christmas card, a nice home made one, and I'm gonna send a few others to various pet talkers. I have really enjoyed making my Christmas cards this year, and hopefully people will like them.

I'm looking forward to buying Jack & Sunny nice food that I can't usually afford, like ones in special jellys and such. They have a stocking each that hangs on the mantlepiece.
