Hitting the Road into Christmas

As the days tick down to Christmas Eve it seems as if this is looking to be just as adventurous as this years Thanksgiving. 2010 for my family has been its regular ball of fun, laughs, and things that just happen to my sister and I. Trust me it seems that something’s only happen to us. In her attempt to coordinate a family Christmas get together in her new place in a total new city that she has been living in perhaps three weeks. Seems to have taken a quick noise dive spiraling fast when reality hit her that it is hard to have an amazing Christmas dinner minus furniture, add difficulty family members, which leads to a new adventure for us.

Through all of this my love of Christmas is starting to peek out. Looking forward to seeing my favorite sister in the world, pick out a tree with the kids, decorating, midnight mass and just fun times. Let’s disregard that I have not packed, finish shopping, booked a hotel room or have picked up a roll of wrapping paper. Neither of us has decided on the family meal, if my brother will show up or if we are going to head in to the family mine field called my beautiful parents who we love dearly. 

None of this real matters just the smile on the children’s faces after mass when they our allowed to open one gift. The Holiday is about new beginnings, caring for others and peace on earth. I am hoping for peace within my family and enjoying each others company. Reminisce, play games and make new memories. Let’s enjoy this coming Christmas and hey bring on New Years it can not be any worse. Then what I will step in once I jump in my truck hitting the road into the Holidays.
