Simple

That's what this Christmas feels like for me, very simple. I like that. As the children grew older it has lost it's shininess, but now the meaning is clearer again. We have our living Christmas tree in the front yard, ornaments our church has given us over the years surrounding the wood/porcelain nativity. Christmas cards on the mantle. Christmas music stations/channels. The gifts have got more precise. But I do like to surprise some people.

I like to watch what other people do to get ready.
