The other day I was at WalMart and they are already clearancing a lot of the Christmas items. Ok, I know I am slow and will barely begin to Christmas shop this week, but hellooooo Christmas is not even over and already I have a limited selection of Christmas cards I can choose from because now they are on some special here's what we have left shelf! Something is just not right.
I am not in the mood to bake because of a kitchen situation (hmm that has multiple meanings with my last name) and no one even talked of a real live Christmas tree so I just took out the 5 feet fake one and put it on a table to make it look like something grand.
No matter how much I try, I just cannot get into the spirit of Christmas this year and there are so many excuses and reasons I can think of but if you are a follower of my blog you know them all by heart. The truth is I just want this year to be over, I have so many plans for 2012, it's like the promise of a new tomorrow. I have been prolonging something for almost two months now and in my heart each day I know I need to just get it over with, why drag it on any longer, there will never be a good time to say goodbye.
2012 is going to bring me back to something I forgot about a long time ago. I am going to find myself again. I am going to indulge in all the things I used to love to do before life got too complicated. I am going to be at peace with myself though I am sure there will be a select few who will wish anything but peace upon me then. If you think I'm cute now, wait till you see me after I get back to what I used to be.
But with 2012 will also come things like Ant's graduation and me turning 40, Adri turning sweet 16-though sometimes she's more like a sour 16 and let's not forget that the Mayan calendar will end...OMG! For all of you believers of that you better get right with God now! Look people... look at our calendar right now...it's about to end too and you know what happens after that? A new one begins-stop freaking out-seriously!
I have so many hopes for 2012 yet so much of 2011 and prior will follow me for sure and I know it won't be easy. But through it all I know that with God all things are possible and I can do this, though one might say I am a sissy la la, I am in a way.
I wish the reminders of Christmas would go away like the crazy Christmas music, the happy inflatable snowman in the neighbor's yard and stupid commercials telling me how many days I have left to shop. I mean who are they to tell me how long I have to shop? Don't we buy things all the time for the kids and around the house? Why do we have to get them all these things for one day that goes as quickly as it came. In sunday school this past week I broke down the word Christmas like this...CHRIST MAS. If you speak spanish you will know that Mas means more so if you look at it that way we should be thinking about CHRIST more...think about it.
There are 12 days till Christmas. Stop running around in a frenzy trying to find the perfect gift, there really is no such thing. Kids will never be truly satisfied no matter how much we try. Oh and they should do a follow up to those commercials where a husband buys his wife a Lexus for Christmas where now she has this added bill to pay for the next 3-5 years!
It has gotten to be too commercialized and I am just not in the mood,,,Bah Humbug for me! I guess I am just looking forward to New Year's Eve and the year that I will find ME again.
