On The First Day Of Christmas

On the first day of Christmas I went Christmas shopping and I put the Christmas tree up and decorated it with a little help from Zoe. It looks beautiful. I also found out that both my sons will not be sharing Christmas Eve or Christmas day with us because they are going to their Dad's place this year. I will however see them on another day.....which I think we will turn into Christmas day! Why not....who says we can't celebrate Christmas as a family on a totally different day? We just won't look at the calendar. I am grateful that for all the years I have had the pleasure of my children they have always spent Christmas with me. This will be the first. I suppose it will get worse once they settle and have families of their own. I will just have to annoy them and visit them instead and somehow we will be together.
