I somehow cannot believe that in 24 days it’ll be Christmas. Ask me if I’ve gotten any Christmas shopping done? Yes, I have but very, very minimal. Ask me if I’ve started my Christmas cards? Does buying them count? I’ve bought them but haven’t started them. At least we have our tiny but festive Christmas tree up. Unfortunately we couldn’t get a living tree because of our overly curious cat so the artificial one will do for now. It’s got lights and glass balls on it. The glass balls remind me of Christmas as a child. It’s true when they say everything comes back in style again because those vintage glass balls are certainly popular once again. I remember the cardboard boxes they came in and how, as each year passed, the boxes aged. Seeing those vintage ornaments reminds me so much of Christmas’s past.
This year will be our first Christmas together as husband and wife, and really the first one we get to spend with each other. Last year we were a couple thousand miles apart and I have to admit that I felt rather lonely. This year it’s been nice to see Christmas lights together and just be able to experience the Christmas season together as a family. Yes, he and I are a family now. It sometimes feels strange that I have my own family now but I do even though it’s just the hubby and I now. We haven’t quite decided what our traditions will be but I’m sure we’ll figure something out as the years go by and we celebrate more and more Christmas’s together.
