Happy Holidays!
I am holiday craaaaaazay this year, y’all. The holiday spirit has OVERTAKEN me! I’m in full CHEER mode! But holidays can bring mixed feelings for us all. Holidays are a time for joy, but also grief.
I’ve been shopping for Christmas throw pillows & decor for our mantel and I’m brainstorming about our tree theme this year. I was caught singing along to Christmas music shopping last week with Dot. Like, belting it out! But it’s ok, I was singing to my baby. People forgive mumma’s of young children for singing in stores (hehehe). The Santa parade brought me to TEARS this past weekend – the families surrounding us with their small children, everyone embracing the holiday spirit. It moved me.
I couldn’t help but ask myself – why so excited about Christmas this year, Amanda?
It hit me; there are multiple reasons why this year feels different. Then I cried.
