It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

It’s that time of the year where no matter how bad your day has been, there is that one place you can go that will just brighten you day. And after a bad week, I really needed that place. So, at 5:00pm, I shut down the computer, went out to the Matrix and headed towards the place that I would normally dread going to…actually it’s more that Joe dreads it - I don’t mind too much. And sure enough, when I walked into the doors of Wal-Mart, turned right and headed down the aisle, I started to feel just a little better, and as soon as I walked through the big doorway and heard the Christmas music, saw the decorations and trees, it put a huge ‘Grench like’ smile on my face. I was like a kid in a candy store!! I only needed one little suction cup thingy to help keep my new Fall wreath on the screen door, but ended up heading out with a little more. I walked every aisle, just taking it all in and listening to my favorite kind of music, you know…’Santa Clause is Coming to Town’ and ‘Silver Bells’. I so badly just wanted to buy everything that I saw but figured I might need to take Joe along and let him make a few choices on the Christmas décor as well. So instead, I only got 3 stocking holders, one for me, one for Joe and of course one for Wicket. I tried finding Wicket a stocking too, Joe and I already got ours last year at an awesome 75% off sale at Belk’s, but maybe I am too picky or maybe I just love my dog too much, because none of them seemed right. Hopefully I can find one online later. After a while I finally decided I better head home and get ready to go out to Mom and Dad’s for dinner. Leaving Wal-Mart I must have looked like some kind of goofy girl with a big grin on my face, but I didn’t really care. For once this week I actually was in a really, really good mood and I plan on keeping that mood, for the rest of the year anyways. But until that tree comes down after the new year begins, all I have to do is think of all my Christmas decorations waiting to be put up and presents to be wrapped and that grin will come right back!! Christmas really is the most wonderful time of the year!!
