Year 3 week 49
3rd – 9th December 2018
I have always loved Christmas. It doesn’t take much for me to get excited. I love how everywhere you look is lit up with lights and decoration. Everyone is happy – especially the kids.
I love the parties, the food, the preparation, the carol services, the family all meeting together in one place to celebrate. I even love all those cheesy Christmas movies. It doesn’t take much to get me into the Christmas spirit.
Last week as you know I had a particularly bad week. This week has only been marginally better. With all the things I have been through over the past few weeks I feel that the Christmas spirit has been really sucked out of me and I have been trying to get it back.
I feel like I have turned into Scrooge and saying ‘bah humbug’ to anything Christmas related.
The thing about Scrooge is he did get his Christmas spirit in the end.
For me, as the week progressed, things really did start to improve. What probably helped was my sons playing Christmas music all over the house.
I’m happy to say that the slump I have been in seems to have now gone and I am now getting excited for Christmas again. It’s funny how you can change your thinking in one week.
Debbie you are so amazing, you only say what a lot of as feel. I struggle with Christmas and being single, it’s a constant battle. But God is good and I am thankful to have a friend as wonderful as you. Xx
