Christmas is a small miracle. OK a huge miracle. Why do I say that? Because I'm slowly getting into the spirit of Christmas. We have our tree up, just need to find the bulb that's broke and fix the red lights. The blue and green lights are working. I'm not really into searching the entire tree or even half to find the broken light. I want one of those gizmos they advertised on TV last year where you plug it into one light socket and it shows you the missing/broken light.
I was able to walk through the utility room and think of Gabbi without being overwhelmed with grief. With ADHD, being overwhelmed is a constant threat to the flow of production. Tonight, however I was able to get the advent calender out of the Christmas Casket (huge red and green storage bin that could hold a corpse, hence the name) and get it ready to be loaded with chocolate. It has 24 drawers for the 24 days leading up to Christmas, pull out a drawer, get the candy, eat it, turn the drawer to the backside and place it back into the calendar, at the end of 24 days it displays a picture of an alpine village decked out for Christmas. Got it at Starbucks a few years ago and just love it.
Stockings are hung on the coffee cup rack in the kitchen. Gotta get the manger scene out and set up. Got the wreath hung on the door and other Christmas decorations strewn around. Looking a little bit festive at the Callahan's if you ask me. Just need to find a couple other things to complete the picture.
It has been said that Christmas can be an overwhelming time for those with ADD but, having all our decorations in one place and ready to go makes it much easier.
So today I'm grateful for...
1. The Christmas Casket (I recommend everybody get one)
2. My Husband
3. The Lord who died so I might live.
4. My neighbors
5. My friends
Later dudes...
