It's Not About Money
With t.v and radio talking up Christmas already it's hard not to start thinking about how I can give us a nice Chrismas this year. With things being so bad for us this time last year we tried very hard to forget Christmas, not easy when we both love it so much but it was our way of trying to forget the struggles we were going through and after we sat in our lounge Chritmas day with not a single piece of holly on show I told myself it would never happen again.
So this year I'm out to prove we can enjoy the feel of christmas even tho we haven't a penny to spend. As far as Yvonne knows we are just going to have two days rest without even a tree, but there is no way thats going to happen as she works just as hard as me and I want to do something to bring back her smile. I've been thinking of how our christmas days were spent when I was a child and there is no reason why I can't do the same this year. Why do we need to spend lots of money, yes we will buy a few pressies for our daughter Nicola and just a few very close friends but thats it, tho I'll make sure I get Yvonne something and as for decorations, well we have lots packed away so they will be going up and I'm sure I can find a tree haha just don't ask me where.
There are lots of small ways I can make it special, collecting holly and mistletoe just as I did when a kid, making a festive log with dried flowers like my mum taught me and a bag of chestnuts won't empty the piggy bank. All in all I'm going to be a busy little boy and I'll be getting it sorted in my clay room so Yvonne won't have a clue.
I'm feeling excited about it and really looking forward to seeing what I can do plus I'm having the most amazing memories of my childhood christmas's helping my mum on christmas eve.
On the bead side of things, tomorrow is both hollow beads and some slidder toys, they seem to be selling so as I had fun making some bright funky coloured ones I think it's worth listing a few, but like normal I want to improve them first.
