Christmas Plans and a Boy

It's a non conventional Christmas lead up for us.

I would like to be decorating the house.

I would like to be making and assembling gingerbread houses.

I would like to be catching up with friends and celebrating.

I would like to be writing lists and dreaming of food.

I would like to be making merriment and enjoying the children's anticipation of Christmas.

Oh I had plans.

But.

A trip to the ER happened. More than once.

Erythema Multiforme happened

and will be happening for a few more hot weeks.

Itching. Fever. Swelling. Bruising. 

And a boy who needs special care, happened.

So I have to lay down my Christmas plans.

Pare it back.

Love.

A baby boy.

Thankfulness.

And if that is what Christmas is all about then perhaps I'm closer than I thought.
