6 More Days Until Christmas

Well there are only 6 more days until christmas. I have been done christmas shopping for 4 weeks now. It has been nice not having to rush around with all these crazy shoppers because I'm done. I'm so excited to be able to spend christmas with my family and my husband before he leaves for 6 months. I love christmas eve my husband and I sit and I drink wine he drinks Jack (yuck) and we watch christmas movies like "Bad Santa" and I wrap all the presents and stick bows on them. Earlier in the night the kids and I bake cookies and leave Santa hot cocoa since we all know he likes it better than regular milk (I'm the one that drinks it, and I do not like milk). I eat the cookies and enjoy relaxing times. But it is so hard for me because I just want to play with all their toys. Christmas morning is the best, getting woken up with hugs and kisses and oh my santa came is the greatest feeling. Getting to wake up and open the presents with my family is great, cooking breakfast, then cooking dinner all day. A nice glazed ham and much more. Oh snap I forgot the pie crust! And hopefully my husband will not have a watch or duty on Christmas morning. We found out he will have one that evening but that can change. Basically he gets called into work for a bunch of hours. Its sad especially when its the holidays. After christmas we have to prepare the kids for my husband leaving for a few months and our transition relocating. God I feel like I can't catch my breath with all of this stuff. At least once we relocate we will be there for 3 years. Well I have to go back to work now ;)
