MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
As I sit here writing this tonight I am curled up with Christmas lights flickering all around me and the smell of pine throughout my house. I absolutely love this time of year and all that it stands for. Family, fun and all the festivities. I am one lucky woman. I have everything I could ever want near me and have a heart full of love.
I think the only thing that gives me anxiety over the Christmas season is gift giving! I will get lists that are exponentially long, ones that are insanely vague and yet others that claim they don't want a THING for Christmas but will be the ones with the longest face come Christmas morning when they have nothing to open from me! YIKES! I have such a hard time finding something that my family or friends WANT and yet still have some sort of meaning behind it. I never, never, never want to feel like I am just getting them a gift to GET them a gift...know what I mean??!!??
This year I am OVERLY excited for Christmas morning...not because I get to watch everyone open gifts (although there is NOTHING greater than watching your child's face when they are ripping open gifts!!) but because I know that this Christmas morning is going to be just a little more special for some people because their loved ones got them something SO personal, SO intimate and SO unique and I got to play a HUGE part in that! Because these AMAZING women decided to trust ME with making these special memories, someone gets to open a gift that they never even knew they wanted! I would absolutely love to be able to be there at the exact moment when the gift is given and opened and they realize what their loved one did for THEM! Ahhhh, 'tis the season!
This year is just a little bit more special for me. Just a little bit more meaningful. Just a little bit more AMAZING! I have started something that I hope to be able to be a part of for MANY years to come! THANK YOU, all you beautiful Vixens out there, for letting me be a part of this gorgeous holiday...even if it is just in spirit! Merry Christmas to you from me....I hope you ALL get unwrapped this year! :-)!
