Merry Christmas Thank You Jesus
Used to be a decorating diva, spent days making my house Christmas.
Twenty years back I realized what a bad place un-decorating landed me.
Putting away spirit was a three day job, and put me in the worst mood.
I gave away almost all of my Christmas decorations -reindeer, elves.
I breathed a sigh of joy as they left my house, realizing I was “free” at last!
I continued decorating a giant Christmas tree for about five years.
Then one of my daughters asked for it, and I was glad to see it go.
I gave her tree decorations too; it felt like an ape had leapt from my back.
A twinkling fiber optic Christmas tree has been in my house three years.
My husband usually asks “can we put it down now?” in June or July.
I am never taking it down. It puts me in Christmas mode year round.
Reminding me that every day should be “Merry Christmas, good will to men, and thank you Lord Jesus.”
