Last year when I realized granddaughter would be with her Daddy for Christmas, I was really sad so to make up for it I decided that Christmas would last all month. My tree is up the weekend of Thanksgiving. We eat on Christmas dishes every meal in December, Christmas movies, music and books all month. We'll do Christmas gifts when it seems right. Turns out spreading the joy all month makes for a very relaxing holiday and we don't feel like we missed anything. Granddaughter doesn't get too excited to enjoy the holiday because there's not so much anticipation for one big day. Works for us! Happy Holidays!juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14431563943946596702noreply@blogger.com
