The downside and upside of Christmas

Some people don't mind Christmas. They love it. They would celebrate it everyday if they could. But some people, dread it, they don't hate it, they just dread it coming.

The downside: Having to get a tree, and painstaking decorate it with lights that would never light up properly and knowing that one of the lights is dead and the whole thing won't light up. Another painstaking task is to write Christmas cards, and have your family dress up in horrid clothing for a picture to put on that card. Another would be hearing the same Christmas carol over, and over, and over again. Like the Christmas donkey song or the "Grandma's got run over by a reindeer". Having to be prepared, having the house all cleaned and ready for company. Some people don't mind it, but for others it's more like more housework to deal with. Like we do for Thanksgiving. Also the parties could mean hangovers the next day.
But at least there is an upside.
The upside: Spending time with your family, opening presents, enjoying time with company, ringing in a new year on New years Eve. For us. I love it and hate it at the same time. Can't believe next week will be Christmas. For now. I'm just going to enjoy a nice Christmas with my family and seeing my cousin's sons open up their presents and be so happy. That's my upside of Christmas. Also seeing my family happy when they open the presents I got for them. Although I do have to finish my Christmas shopping this week.

Have a Merry Christmas and Happy 2012. Won't blog again till January! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
