Over the Christmas Hump

Almost Over the Christmas Hump

As I mentioned in one of my previous blogs I don't look forward to the Christmas holidays. I havehad too many negative experiences in past holiday seasons. The last Christmas that I probably enjoyed was when my kids were still children. During those holidays I got to relive Christmas through a child's eyes.

When my kids grew up Christmas seemed to lose a lot of its joy for me.

During the present Christmas holidays I once again had a rough Christmas. My wife and I were struggling with relationship issues and challenges. Fortunately, we were eventually able to talk these issues out and to restore peace in the home. It seems that something always comes up around Christmas. Last year I had a serious bout with bronchitis that took about six weeks to resolve itself. This year I actually tried hard to make it a better Christmas. After my wife and I had straightened out our issues I decided that I was going to have as much fun as possible for the rest of the holiday season. My wife and I have been watching several videos together some of which I may comment upon in upcoming blogs. We are still planning to visit with our granddaughter and give her her Christmas present. A visit with my granddaughter is almost guaranteed to lift my spirits. To each and everyone I wish a blessed holiday. Take a lesson from me. I f the holiday season hits a rough patch you can try to get over the obstacles and have a fun time.

Merry Christmas,
