Hello
friends.
Sorry
it
has
been
a
few
days
since
my
last
blog.
Go
all
of
our
Christmas
stuff
up
and
i
am
loving
the
tree
on
every
night.
We
always
leave
our
tree
up
until
at
least
the
end
of
January.
It
makes
the
kids
and
i
happy
so
who
gives
a
sh*t
what
people
think.
Sorry
about
that.
Had
a
small
kidney
scare
today.
Went
to
go
get
my
fluids
this
morning
and
ended
up
in
the
er
due
to
severe
bleeding.
So
off
my
feet
for
the
next
few
days.
I
hope
everyone
is
well.
Leslie
~~
please
take
care
of
yourself
and
be
easy
for
the
next
few
days.

My
thoughts
are
with
you,
and
I'm
sending
positive
thoughts
your
way.
I
agree
with
you
about
the
Christmas
tree;
we
leave
it
up
well
into
January
because
it
just
makes
things
seem
happier.
And
for
me,
this
year
I'm
really
feeling
well
enough
to
seriously
decorate.
By
the
time
I'm
done
the
house
is
going
to
look
like
it
belongs
in
the
North
Pole! Okay,
not
quite
that
much,
but
still
a
lot
of
decorations.
;-)
Hope
you
feel
better
soon
my
friend!
love
and
hugs

The
religious
Christmas
season
extends
from
Christmas
Eve
to
Jan6.
The
Epiphany.
This
is
the
true
length
of
the
religious
observance.
Christmas
does
not
extend
from
Black
Friday
to
Dec.26
The
schools
are
partly
to
blame.
They
want
all
signs
of
the
holiday
to
be
gone
when
the
children
return
back
from
the
hilidays,
The
message
is
it's
time
to
get
into
the
school
work
again.
Of
course
the
Celebration
was
invented
by
business
men
with
the
emphasis
of
gift
giving
and
decorating
for
the
holidays.
