Christmas was a little different at our house this year.....the older our kids get the more expensive the wish list gets. This year Scott wanted a 32" flat screen TV for his room for gaming and to watch movies, and that's all he wanted. Well Santa brought his TV, but Mom and Dad wanted to put a few more present under the tree for him to open. The sad part of that was that he picked out most of those presents....a PS3 game, and few movies, I managed to sneak 1 movie under the tree that he didn't know about. He is too picky about the clothes he wears, so I didn't dare buy any. He had his present from his Grandparents. He didn't care as much about all the other little things, he only wanted his "TV". He is now in heaven, he can read all the things on the screen that before were too small to see, he had a 13" TV. He has either been watching a movie or playing games since Christmas. The grandchildren are at the age where they just want to see how many presents were for them and what was in them. So the things that I was excited about were not the things they were excited about. Our Granddaughter couldn't wait to leave our house and go to her other Grandparents to see what she had there. I did my own Christmas shopping this year, and all before the 24th. Robert says the 24th is Black Friday for the guys, that is usually the day he is scrambling to get presents. I told Robert that I didn't want any more gifts after I had got some for myself, so he got off easy this year.
I took down the Christmas tree on the 27th, I was ready to close another chapter in 2010. It has been a hard year at our house this year, Robert has had more health issues this year than ever. Along with all the other things we had dealt with I will be ready to bid adieu to 2010 and ring in 2011 with a bang, in hopes that it will be a much better year.
