NO DECORATIONS THIS YEAR

Hubby and I have decided that we won’t put up any Hanukah decorations this year. I am not making a Hanukah party so it doesn’t seem necessary. Hubby never cared and for whatever reason I don’t care either. About three years ago I started to put up a Hanukah Bush but last year we threw it out because it got mouldy over the summer. I enjoyed the lights etc. but a new tree cost 100. It just isn’t the same without children.
I have a feeling we will not be having too many people over for meals this year. Even though I want to and probably will hubby always finds it too much work. I think I’ll just go along with whatever he wants. He doesn’t want me to have any pressure. He thinks that’s why I don’t sleep well at night.
Last night we had a quick supper and then went to play pool. Hubby is very good as he has been playing since high school. I was happy to play. He gave me a few pointers. It is something we can do anytime at the clubhouse. Free and easy!
We were thinking about going to a movie but it is hard to find a theater that has a movie we both like. Maybe tonight! Any suggestions? Hubby likes violence: I don’t! I was thinking about going to see Argo.
This morning I will go swimming. Then I have to unpack stuff from my car. Yesterday I remembered that I have stuff packed under my rear seats!!!!!!!!! Not sure what is there. I know there is some glass and some books. It will be a surprise.
I am still using my computer in the kitchen but have to move into my craft room. I am happy here but I know hubby doesn’t like it. I still have to organize my craft room. Hopefully I will get it done today.
I keep thinking how very very very lucky I am that hubby and I are both well and in Florida. It scares me to think that we are getting older and might get sick and dependent one day. I must not think about it.
GRATEFUL! GRATEFUL TO BE IN FLORIDA. TO HAVE ENOUGH AND MORE FOOD TO EAT. TO BE "HEALTHY!" TO HAVE A HUBBY I CAN RELATE TO AND SPEND TIME WITH.
Last night I finally sent a donation to the victims of Sandie. I think it’s the least we can do. So many people still suffering.

My kids still like to decorate, it might be my last Christmas in this house so maybe I will get into it a bit more this time, I guess we never know what we have until we don’t have it anymore.

Hello. It’s nice to meet you. I saw you left me a know to be added to my favorites and I did add your diary. There are some years when you just don’t feel like doing any decorating. I didn’t put up a Christmas tree for many years after my son left home and then now in the last three years I have decided to put it up again. It’s a lot of work to decorate since I live alone but I try my best.

I think every now and then it’s a good thing to take a break from being the one “doing or making” the holiday to being the one simply enjoying the holiday as we find it 🙂

i quit putting up christmas trees and decorations a while ago. just doesn’t interest me anymore. yes, you have a lot to be grateful for in your life. please try to stop worrying about all the ‘what-if’s’. that will make you crazy. just live each and every day to it’s fullest and let tomorrow come. prepare for the worst but live for best. you’d hate to end life not having lived it fully cause you were always worrying about things that could happen but didn’t. take care,

I am thinking, too, that I might not put up a tree, or decorate, either. I have 2 young cats. One, is my daughters’ whom I am foster-caring for at this time. The other is mine. Both are only about 1 1/2 years old, and still find mischief. MIne especially is naughty, at times, lol. But, I could see them/him/ knocking down the whole tree, or various ornaments and such, so, I am thinking Why bother?lol. My grandkids and families live in the buidking next door, so they WILL have a tree and such. :*)) lvoe/ bighugz.
