Merry Christmas?

Well, it's December 17th, only a week-ish away from Christmas and I can't believe it.  So much has been going on and I can't say I'm in the holiday spirit.  Between my leg, having to cancel our family trip to Las Vegas and all the sad news, I'm in serious need of some Christmas cheer.

Thankfully, my Mom and Mark were able to put up our Christmas tree and decorate it.   I did throw one ornament onto the tree from the couch, so I count that as helping.  It's pretty beautiful. I also got our Christmas cards finished and sent out.  These were ordered before knee-mageddon, so the irony of Mark carrying me in the bottom picture is purely coincidental.

 I'll definitely miss being with my family for Christmas, but I am thankful my Mom was able to spend 8 days out here with me (even if they weren't exactly fun).  I am also glad I can spend Christmas here with Mark and Lucy and who knows, maybe it will snow!!  Ok, probably not, but a girl can hope. 

I'm gonna go blast Christmas music, now.
