The Dreaded Christmas 

I feel terrible even typing the title of this post! Normally, I absolutely love Christmas, it’s always been my favorite holiday. I mean it’s the season of giving, you normally spend time with family and friends, pig out, and exchange gifts. This Christmas isn’t like that in any shape or form. This Christmas has me in a whirlwind of depression. 

My Mamaw passed away in February and Christmas was her absolute favorite time of the year. No joke, she would have left her tree up all year round if my family would have let her. This is my first Christmas without her and it’s really shaking me to my core. Don’t get me wrong, I knew this would be hard but I never expected it to be this hard. I suppose it doesn’t help that I’ll be alone this Christmas since Kristen has to work. I’ll be with Hudson but he isn’t much for conversation! Here’s to hoping I can make myself get out of bed Christmas morning. 

The only part I do still get? The food! Since Kristen works on Christmas we are celebrating on Christmas Eve and I am cooking a pretty big meal as always. We invited a ton of people over, I told her the only thing I wanted for Christmas was a house full of people, and it’s true! I have a big ham and a pretty big turkey. My schedule is all figured out and dinner is set for 7pm!

Even though I may not be feeling the Christmas spirit, I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas!
