Merry Christmas!!! :)

It is Christmas morning, and I hope that everyone is enjoying a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I'm working today from 7am until 3pm (I may get off early), but I'm looking forward to tonight. I'm cooking Christmas dinner, and we're having Logan's dad and brother over. I hope everything goes well in preparing the food! I got a honey baked ham (from the store, haha) and making green beans, a salad and other yummy stuff. Is that a traditional Christmas dinner? I hope so. ;) I had a very nice Christmas Eve. Here's a little background before I get into why I had a nice one. Logan's family in years past made cookie plates and handed them out to their neighbors on Christmas Eve. I got to participate last year, and I loved it. It makes people so happy... which makes me happy. :) And last year, Logan and I brought some plates to some of our friends in town. I still really wanted to keep that tradition going because it is such a nice thing to do, and people really do appreciate it. So, on the 23rd and 24th, I made some goodies (cookies, brownies, and muffins), and after having dinner with his family, we went and handed out cookies to their neighbors and then drove around and gave them to some of our friends. I love traditions...... :)

So, yeah... at work this morning... It's funny, I was telling Logan that leading up to the time when I have to work on holidays is harder than actually working on the holiday. I try to bear that in mind every time. Like yesterday, I was like, "I really wish I didn't have to work tomorrow," but now that I'm here, I feel good. Everyone in the lobby is really cheerful, and that makes me feel good. It's really cute, I've heard people in their rooms this morning going, "YAAAAAAAAAAHOOOO!!!" and another room go, "WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Santa must have been good to them this year. :)

I'm just thinking about my family right now. Today, my mom is on her way up to see my family (in Jackson), and my sisters are spending Christmas morning at my Grandma Mildred's. Today is my grandma's birthday. :) I'm happy that I get to see everyone in a few days. I got to see my mom and Kath the other day, and I'll see everyone else very soon! I'm trying to stay positive about working today. I'm trying to make people happy, and also, I have to be thankful that I have a job. So many people do not have jobs right now and would do anything (even work on Christmas) to have one. So I am truly thankful. :) That is what I have been trying to tell myself everytime someone hears I work today and they say, "Aww, that's too bad."

In a little bit when my co-worker gets here, I am going to sneak away and call my family to wish them a Merry Christmas (and my Grandma a Happy Birthday). :)

Well, again.... A Merry Christmas to you all!!! :)
