As I pull myself out of the Thanksgiving Weekend fog. I realize that it is time to take out the Christmas decorations around me. On Sunday Angela was all excited and she and her daddy decorated the front of the house with all the festive characters we have collected over the years.

They really did a wonderful job. Now my front room is booming with boxes and big red storage tubs with animated Christmas figurines and all sorts of stuff inside them.

I just wish at the moment I had some of that Christmas Joy inside me so that I could deck the halls and have the house done by the time my hubby comes home today.

Usually I am the one begging to decorate and bake cookies. I do already have a stack of presents wrapped. So at least I am not behind. I really did enjoy our company over the Thanksgiving Holiday.

I think that my body is just responding to the cold and the infection in my foot. I have to go for an MRI on Tuesday and then on Wednesday I will see the Surgeon again. Not knowing if I am going to lose a toe or some of my foot is really worrying me. I have often used humor to cover my feelings and I do a good job of it. However this time my husband see's right through me.

I am just going to close my eyes and wish for the best Christmas ever. No matter what happens. After all it is one more Christmas to spend with my children and my grand children.

Usually the kids help me catch up with the Christmas Spirit. This is really their first year being parents themselves and it is fun watching them prepare for the holidays.

I know I am looking forward to going to the Movies and seeing The Nativity. The Santa Claus 3 is an awesome movie. I enjoyed it fully. I wish everyone a cup of Christmas Joy. As I try and find mine this holiday season.
