I think we're all feeling it this year. I am however, very thankful for our blessings.
I am most thankful that my husband is feeling better every day, my children are healthy, we're able to pay our bills, and that Gizmo is happy and healthy.
We may not have the money to buy a lot of presents this year, but we're planning something really fun this year. We're having a homemade Christmas this year. We're all making gifts for each other.
My husband is doing wood carving and taking photos, my youngest son is recording some of his accoustic guitar playing and making candles, my oldest son's fiance is making Christmas candy and other yummies and some homemade soap and lotion. I'm sewing and crocheting various items. My oldest son has some secret project that I have no idea about, but I'm sure will be great.
I'm sure we'll buy a few little gifts, but not even close to what we usually purchase.
May we all have a better year in 2008, and may God bless you and your families.
