 Holiday thoughts pt.2

Here we are a couple of days after the big day.. I will be one of the first to admit that it really did not feel like it was Christmas time. I am used to going Christmas shopping and love looking at all the stores dressed up or decorated for Christmas and this year with everything that has been and is going on. I only went into a couple of stores that were not Wal Mart and the amount of decorating was a huge disappointment.. I was blessed to be able to drive around and look at Christmas lights a couple of times and that made my heart happy. 

I was able to see and spend time with all 5 of my kids and that in itself is a blessing.. It becomes increasingly hard to coordinate all of the kids schedules and having them all in the same place for any amount of time is well not something that happened this year.. Jordin and Katie came by Christmas Eve and spent sometime before we left to go to Candlelight Service with the rest of the family..  (Might I add all of my siblings and I were in the same place at the same time and no one fought or argued., if you know the Curtis's you will know just how big of  a deal that is. ) I feel very blessed...

I know that some of my friends were celebrating Christmas without some of their loved ones this year. I know that it was the first Christmas without some and that I believe is hard. My thoughts and prayers were with those of my friends that I know have lost loved ones since last Christmas. 2020 has been a crazy year for lots of people and this time last year we were getting ready to enter a new year and most of us were excited to see what the new year would bring.. That lasted like 3 months and then it all went haywire..

I hope that you were able to enjoy your Christmas this year and that the real reason for the season was not lost in the hustle and bustle.. My prayer is that this time next year when you look back you will have had the best year ever and that Christmas has more meaning and thought and not just gifts.. 

Holidays are not always easy for people, but we should take time to think about and remember the real reason for the season and reach out to those who might need a friend or a blessing not just during the holidays, but all through the year..

In a world where you can be anything, Be kind.

Later taters..
