Christmas Cheer

I will begin this by saying, I just put up my Christmas tree. Yes, that is correct, I put it up before Thanksgiving and I am loving it! I have a beautiful baby girl who gets to celebrate her first Christmas, and I was excited to get a jump on the holiday season. Last year, I was pregnant and very sick and could not get into or enjoy the holidays. This year has been amazing with the birth of my daughter, but extremely hard because of my lack of job. I am still job hunting and struggling with my husband to live. Instead of letting myself get down, I am going to enjoy the holidays by starting right away! I am trying to keep positive and my almost five month old baby seems to love the lights. I know it must sound ridiculous to some, but I need to keep my family's moral up and personally, a Christmas tree makes me smile :) Unfortunately we decided because of money to get a fake tree. Also we have two cats who love drinking the tree water, which drives me nuts! The thought of stepping over the baby toys to vacuum pine needles made me cringe. Our tree is small, but very pretty :)So Merry Early Christmas!
