We are a bit overwhelmed here. But no matter what….It is still Christmas. My husband just had knee replacement surgery 1 week ago. This is his 3rd surgery for the year. This one seems to be harder for us both to just “get through” so far. All of the physical part is on my husband. But sometimes I wonder if we actually think about the caregivers during these times. I know I will make a point from here on out to also check on the caregivers of people I know. Even little breaks are such a huge help.
We are somewhat ready for Christmas. I got 3 trees up and 2 are decorated. I have some Christmas decor sitting out already but you know…. This year I am giving myself grace and telling myself that no matter how much decorating is done or not done… it is still Christmas and we will still celebrate our Lord’s birth. That’s all that really matters.
I know that in about another week my husband will be doing much better with recovery and that is when I plan to start my cookie baking and candy making. And even in this I am giving myself grace and knowing that not all of the traditional items have to be made this year. It will still be Christmas. And that is my theme or my encouragement to myself and to others…… No matter what…. it will still be Christmas.
