I am a big fan of Christmas. I love Christmas music, I love Christmas lights, I love snow, I love drinking hot chocolate and I love decorating! Most of all, I love spending Christmas with my family.
It is with these thoughts each and every year, that I already know what I want for Christmas. As I'm sure we all know, coordinating Christmas can be difficult when dealing with siblings and parents, all of whom have very busy schedules and lives. Needless to say, scheduling a family Christmas can get tricky and I'm sure we aren't the only family that deals with this on an annual basis. My siblings are married, so that throws even more extended family scheduling difficulties into the mix. Last Christmas, my entire family was not together, and even though most of us were there, it still didn't feel like it should have. I felt like the same thing was going to happen this Christmas and I was feeling slightly sad because I wanted to share this special time of year with my entire family. So I made an early Christmas wish: "all I want for Christmas is to be with my entire family."
My parents and I had discussed the Christmas plans, and it sounded like it would be fragmented again. My sister and I also were trying to sort it out, and again, I didn't have much hope that we would all be together on Christmas. I would enjoy myself anyway, regardless of whether my entire family was present or not, I was just really hoping that we could all be together this year. I landed this morning from a flight and received a message from my sister: everyone is going to make it this year! My Christmas wish came true!! I will be celebrating Christmas with my entire family and I couldn't ask for anything more than that.
That and world peace...
Happy holidays :-)
