 Today is day 19 of having an #adventblog. Counting down the days until Christmas. I've got some baking done and plan to do more this week. We are almost all ready for the holidays to begin!
I'm really hoping this Christmas will be a good one. I admit that I'm normally not a huge fan of the holidays. A lot of family drama has leaked into the holidays for many years now. I hope that doing things differently will help us to have a quieter Christmas without all the drama.
This will be the first Christmas that we get both of our kids for the entire holiday. I almost always have to split the holidays up because of my ex husband and our custody agreement. He's agreed to give us the teen this year for the entire Christmas celebration. She'll be with us right through Christmas which is really exciting. She goes to her Dad's house but not until closer to new year. This will give us some time to spend with both of our kids. I'm really excited about it. My kids are growing up on me. I want to enjoy this time with them both.
We have hosted some really big Christmas dinners through the years. This often brought a lot of stress and very little help from people. This year will be a bit different. The only person coming to Christmas dinner will be my FIL. I think this will make it a lot more peaceful this year with hopefully less drama.
This will be my first Christmas without both of my parents involved in my Christmas somehow. My Dad has passed away. My mom and I don't talk anymore. There have been a few people who have opinions about it but it's a family decision that we made together. I personally don't believe that you should just forgive someone just because it's Christmas time. My mom needs to make some changes in her life or things will continue to be the same. I wish that things could be different...I really do.
I feel very blessed for my family with Anakin and our kids. They are the best parts of Christmas and the holidays. We have created our own family traditions and tried to make good memories for our kids. We have been watching holiday movies with our kids and baking with them. We plan to build a gingerbread house together. We are also planning to visit some light displays when it gets closer to Christmas. Those are the holiday memories which I treasure so much. I love our Skywalker family Christmas.
May the force be with you all!!

I hope we have that quiet, peaceful Christmas that we both are craving; peaceful, memorable, and with you and our family; that's all that matters to Me.

I know it must be hard on you not having a good relationship with your mother. I hope your Master/hubby and kids fullfilled your heart this season! :)
