It must be christmas

I didnt have a great childhood...not at all.
There isnt much about christmas that fills my heart with anything that resembles joy.
But for some reason tonight when the living room door was open and the room was filled with christmas beatles... I felt happy possibly even joyful.
I remember them flying into the screendoor when i was probably about 8 and younger. It was always hot and steamy and finding them and letting them go was what seemed llike fun. So tonight i collected the few that were on the floor and set them free iut onto the yard...
I began to think about how blessed i am to have what i have and who i have around me.
One of my dearest friends moved into the house i just moved out of, so we are neighbours. Im so pleased that they are filling the house and making it a home. She came over tonight with a present for me to say thank you for making it possible for them to move in...
It was a funny kind of present as presents go, but one i am soo excited and an in need of. I am loving it.
The joys of shade cloth!!!!
Im using it to add some privacy to our courtyard. I will now be able to scurry from the bathroom to the rest of the house in the nuddy knowing with great confidence that her children and the people walking their dogs at all times of the day will not fall over with fear as they see me streak by the glass doors
So i am very happy xxx
Seeing the faces of my girls on christmas morning when they were little was just glorious.
Nowadays.. We make our own family memories...goodones!!!
As I dont see my mum or brother, my dad is in armidale this year and im not sure i can make it to see him.. So we are going to be together just the three of us.
A little nervous about what to do to make it fun and happy and joyous sooooooo....................... the girls and i are serving christmas lunch to sydneys homeless at the wayside chapel at kings cross. I am really excited to be able to do this with my babies.
I have always wanted to do it, but always felt as though i would be letting people down. But the girls are actually excited about it and we are not letting anyone down, we are making many peoples day joyous... Including ours.
So wherever you are and whatever you are doing... May you be joyous
With much love and many blessings to you and yours on this festive and sometimes festy season
My thoughts are with you xxx
Happy holidays
