Several
years ago I was in a serious relationship.
He convinced me to purchase a real Christmas tree and we spent
Thanksgiving decorating the tree with ornaments from Crate and Barrel. I also hand painted a set of 8 reindeer and
numerous Christmas ornaments. After that
Christmas, I carefully packed every decoration into red storage boxes.
I am (obviously) no longer in that
serious relationship. My Christmas
decorations have been sitting in red storage boxes for 5 or 6 years. I always figured I would decorate again if I
got married. I decided that those
expensive ornaments have been sitting in the boxes too long!
I purchased a real Christmas tree
and I decorated it. My pug has been
sniffing it for days. I set out the hand
painted reindeer and snowman (I forgot about the snowman). I even hung the stocking for my pug and
filled it with goodies for him. I
invited some girls over and we drank hot chocolate and watched Christmas
movies.
Just because I am single and I don’t
have anyone special to share my Christmas with (again) does not mean that I
have to leave the ornaments and reindeer in the storage closet for the
“someday” that might not ever happen. GOD wants me to live a blessed life right
now. I am very glad I put up my
Christmas tree and decorated my apartment and I will gladly do it again next
year.
