Well my Christmas started out kinda blah...My Daughter(who is in the Air Force)wasnt going to make it home...My mother had a stroke bout a year ago and is recovering but still is the one who ramrods christmas eve and day ...Then my daughter managed to work it out so she could be here so it made it a little brighter... well when christmas eve came around we have a tradition of going to this church and helping serve food to the homeless but this year only my brother and i went.The rest were too busy ,which made me a bit angry. It is a pretty humbling experience to go and help out, when you think you have troubles can always find someone with a whole lot more.So when my brother and i arrived at my mom's for our normal Christmas eve get together i my Christmas spirit had been lifted some. Christmas eve we always have supper with my mom and open present to each other and then the aunts and uncles and cousins all show up and there are usually bout 40 ppl the its a mad house,after that we all sit around and catch up with what everyone is doing...then everyone drifts off to the own houses and my brothers family and mine stay to help mom clean up the mess... Then on christmas day it all is about the same ... we have our own christmas things at our houses and some go to inlaws but i always end up back at my mom's to be with her... well some may wonder why i posted this so late its just a bit of my life for ppl to read im not very good at it but thanks for reading....
