Christmas is officially over and I must say it's bittersweet.
I loved visiting with everyone on Christmas: nice visits with friends, and memorable celebrations with family; but I'm somewhat glad the craziness of the holiday is over. However, it's always the same: I take the Christmas tree down on New Year's Day, stare at a barren hole where the tree once stood, and think about how the yuletide hype is mysteriously gone.
Everytime you turn around, it just seems like it's always "out with the old" just when you're getting used to everything being a certain way. BUT...however, my dear friends. There is a solution to the woe of a change such as this one.
We do have wonderful things to look forward to. Within the next few months to come, we'll have warm, sandy beaches and the sounds of children's laughter carrying in the Spring air. We'll have the lukewarm perfection of weather that's just the right temperature, and the glory of sipping tall glasses of iced tea on screened-in porches in our favorite porch swings and wooden rocking chairs.
When you think about all that awaits us, the barren isn't really barren after all.
