{We're Ready}

 

The stockings are hung.

The presents are wrapped.

The house is clean, and the laundry all washed, dried, folded, and put away.

The kids are bursting with excitement.

By this time tomorrow, they will know what most of their gifts are and will hopefully be sleeping away, dreaming of Santa coming.

This feels like an extra low key Christmas, so far.
And I can't believe what I am about to say, But we never ended up getting a real tree.
We always have, and totally planned to this year.
But, Life Happened, and it's the one thing we never squeezed in.
We have a fake tree that we always put up in the dining room to tie our Christmas cards to, so we decided that since Christmas is practically here already, we would just be happy with our silly little fake tree, with our loved ones faces adorning it for decoration.
We didn't even dig out the Christmas tree decorations.
{Sad, isn't it?}

But, really.
Our presents are still wrapped and sitting beautifully under it, and there isn't a pine needle on my floor.
So, I am not going to complain.  I will just say though, this will NOT become a tradition, and next year, we WILL have our usual real tree!

On another note, I have so completely enjoyed getting all of the Christmas cards, pictures and letters in the mail this month!  The have made my heart FEEL {HAPPY} and {LOVED}!

Merry Christmas, Everyone!
