Loose Pages

Christmas had changed for me the last few years. After loosing my Mom in 2010, my sister-in-law last year and my Mother-in-law this year, one of my best friends, Kelvinblue Oh, and a few others to that Star in the sky, Christmas was sad. I didn't really decorate the house, didn't go shopping, generally didn't want it to be here. It was just too sad. I missed them so much and will always miss them. This year though, I think I am going to decorate the house, put big colored lights on the little pine tree outside (it looks cool) and put a big wreath up in the front. I'm going to put up my mother-in-law's crocheted snowflakes on the windows, positioned with mini suction cups. I am going to hang the angel necklace that holds my mother's ashes on the Christmas tree. I am going to nestle pictures of my family, including those living, into the branches of the tree. No lights on the tree - as no doubt in my mind the cats will be climbing it so it has to be simple and cat proof (hehe) Probably no bulbs either because the cats have broken most of those I think lol so it will be a plain tree with pictures. But anyways....that's what it's all about anyway - love - showing love - family - something that we should care about all year long, not just on Christmas. Life is short, and we need to enjoy every beautiful day that we are given - every day of the year.......
