This is my favorite time of year. I grew up with a Christmas crazy mom. I inherited my mom's holiday craziness. It isn't about the gifts, it's about the feeling. My family didn't have much growing up, but my parents always made sure we had the best Christmas. I want to pass the same onto my son. I want him to understand that the holidays are about being thankful for what you have and not what will be under the tree.
I always reflect on my childhood during the holiday season. I remember some very tough times in my family, but going and looking at christmas lights always made my mom forget about the craziness of life.
This time of year makes me remember I have so much to be thankful for. I am thankful for my family, I don't know where I'd be without them. I'm thankful for my husband and son… They accept my crazy work and school schedule and support me no matter what. I'm thankful for online school, without that, there's no way i'd achieve my goal of a master's degree.
Lastly, I'm thankful for YOU, the listener. Without YOU, I wouldn't be able to follow my dream that I've had since I was a little girl. With you guys accepting my weird sense of humor and love for dad jokes, i'm able to entertain and have fun at work. So I want to say a big thank you for all your support as I wiggle my way back into my roots, Central WI.
