Dear Diary Tuesday...

The pies are made, the candy is made, the house is clean, the presents are wrapped and decorated, and it is almost over and I could not be more grateful. That is a horrible feeling, but I can not stand Christmas this year. There is no snow, I have not watched ONE Christmas show, I hated shopping ( which says a lot for me) and nothing but horrible things have happened all year long. The only happiness I have encountered is that my friendships have grown much, much stronger and I had an opportunity to bring a new person into my life, who I appreciate each and every day for her sarcasm, intelligence, and wit. Other than the friendships and love, I have hated this year completely and Christmas is just the rotten cherry on top. However, with that being said, I am not at all in a bad mood about it, just grateful it will be over soon. And then we can move on to New Years and hopefully, a much, much better year.

Update: If you have not been to Scott's blog lately, there is a wonderful note on his last post from a gentleman named Tim. I sent Tim a short note to say thank you for such a wonderful post that he put on his blog. If you get a chance, go and visit Scott's and link to Tim's from there.
