Last night we had our monthly gathering with peak staff members at Mary & Jane's house. I absolutely love these people. Every time I hang out with them, my heart just goes warm and fuzzy. Later on in the evening, Santa showed up! He went around the house and threw tinsels everywhere. Then he gave everyone presents and told us a story. I must say, each gift was quite uniquely hand made. I got a little tea cup, and I must say, probably the most thoughtful Christmas gift I've ever received.
This year definitely feels di
fferent. When I went down to Palm Desert, I noticed how there were evergreen trees with ornaments all over them. Yes, they were pretty and all, but something didn't seem right. It looked so out of place. I'm in the middle of a desert and there's evergreen trees? That's kind of weird. And so I thought, how materialistic everything has become during Christmas. Yes, I'm sure we've all heard of it before, how Christmas is about being with your family, not about the gifts. You see, I'm the Christmas decorator in the my family. Each year, the first week of December, I'll put up the tree and on the same day there would be presents pu
t underneath it. But this year, it's December 10th, and my tree still isn't up yet.It makes me wonder if maybe my Christmas spirit is slowly fading, part of my growing up? However, I'm glad we had our peaks party. It made me feel like I'm home again, like when I was a kid. I sat on Santa's lap and we used crayons and did some colouring too! It was a picture of Who-ville =)
