Christmas again..........

I said a horrible thing today. We (Abby and I) were trying to put up our tree and if one more thing had gone wrong I would of tossed the whole thing! The tree I actually like ended up with a broken stand and several strands of light have gone bonkers--how they do this in a box is beyond me and after several years the topper is dead. I piped up and said, "I absolutely hate Christmas!" Of course, I got in big trouble real quick with the kids so I amended it to, "I sure wish I didn't believe in Christmas trees." That also got some groans. Anyway, it is finally up and I am relieved! I have never enjoyed that part of the season....nope, not even when I was a kid! I am trying to get in a better mood!
