This is the first Christmas that Soch and I are spending together.
Not to mention, this is also the first Christmas I didn't peek under the tree to count how many presents I had because very simply put, I just didn't care to get anything this year. I wasn't expecting anything at all to tell the truth. I love presents, but this Christmas is definitely different.
While a lot of pockets are hurting (not to say mine's not), I managed to really save up just enough to get every sibling a gift and a little something for my mom [and dad (thanks to the white elephant game I played with my friends yesterday)]. I currently have less than $50 in my bank account, and the gifts I bought (and made for Debbie) were not too expensive really.. so I barely got by, but I'm really glad that everyone's happy. I really feel like everyone in my family deserved a little something even if it was just pajama pants and a dollar hello kitty bag filled with pad paper, pens, and small treats. Yes, it was very simple, but I feel good about everything.
In fact, I was talking to Soch about Christmas and what it really means -- how everyone is so involved, and so consumed in shopping, material things..
It's really a celebration for Jesus. It's a time of thanksgiving, love, remembrance.
I hope everyone is as happy as I am this year -- I'm happy that everyone else is happy.
