@Beatburn Yeah it was very pretty and I regret not taking photos of the other side of the room as there were a lot of beautiful ornaments and lights. Awwww! I love watching kids open their presents. I love watching all the enjoyment. I'm glad you had a great day! Sounds wonderful.

Mine was decent as well, and also hectic. It always is for some reason even though there aren't that many of us. Hope it went well for you otherwise. I always feel like super relieved when the holidays are over.

@maezee Yeah it is really amazing how much there is to do even if it's with a small group. And I'm the same as you. I am still grateful for the nice times but I'm so much more calm once it's all over and done with.

@AmbiePam Yeah those are the parts I enjoy the most. I like to see people's faces after they unwrap what I have given to them. I actually made my Aunty cry form the gift I got her lol Then I started crying. It wasn't cause she was made or upset with what I did. Was just something that touched her heart. I am still wanting those leftovers lol

This was an unusual Christmas for me. It just seemed to creep up so fast, I felt I wasn't ready for it. Usually we go out and buy our tree right after Thanksgiving (towards the end of November), but it has been raining so much every weekend that it took forever for us to have a nice weekend day where we could go out to the Christmas tree lots and find the perfect tree. I didn't go overboard with presents this year, which is a first for me, because usually I spoil the kids with too much stuff. But they're getting older now, so I wanted to make sure to get them a few things they would truly appreciate. Overall, it was a very laid back and relaxing Christmas this year for us, but it sure came and went fast.

@moffittjc I think that's why I wasn't feeling it this year. Because like you said, it came by too quickly. I'm glad that it was still a good and relaxing Christmas for you either way.

I love that picture and the chair covers!

I'm sorry you weren't into Christmas this year, but I'm happy you still had a good Christmas. I had a wonderful Christmas with my children as I went to their homes. They didn't come to mine, so I don't have leftovers, the only downside. I painted rocks to give my children this year as finances were tighter than they've ever been, but it was a great Christmas. They all loved their rocks.

@VivaLaDani13 Thank you. Happy New Year to you too. My kids loved their rocks. It proves to me you don't need expensive presents to make people happy. Give from the heart. It was one of my best Christmases ever.

@just4him I agree. I'm really wanting to make things this year for Christmas. I'm really over going to the stores and buying things. I'd rather make stuff to make it more personal. Even if it's just baking cookies or something.

It was a family gathering, my family. It was simple and informal but that's what we do together, eat, sing play and watch in the plaza.

Wow that looks great. I would love to be able to decorate like that for the Holiday , but with my grand kids well they get a little wild and crazy. Maybe someday..lol I have been so exhausted since everyone left ,I just can't seem to get back going again. My daughters both had to work and my son was house sitting for some friends so I had to do most all of the prep by myself . We had a good time with the kids though even though they were a bit on the wild side.

@jeanena lol that is a fair enough reason to not do it right now but yes, like you said maybe someday you can.

I'm sorry that you were pretty much the only one in charge of everything. I'm sure you did a wonderful job and I hope you can rest now that it's all over!
