That makes me so sad. People complained about some sharing to joy of Christmas. I just don't understand. :scene:

My home is now completely decorated inside. I ran out of batteries for flameless candles, wreaths, garlands and figurines so a stop at Wal-Mart added to my list tomorrow. Now it is time to rest, have a salad,
and organize dinner. It is Christmas movies on Hallmark all night. :smilecc:

Today we have more trees and hope to decorate this one by evening.

We were still reeling from that when Daddy got sick. And now dealing with my brother...He's like a horrible combination of Scrooge and Grinch, only there's no good in there just waiting to come out. He's an angry elf for sure. I've finally decided to let it go, and focus on all the good of Christmas. :nav2:

I pray that your family has a wonderful Christmas this year.
You all deserve one.
