My favorite  season is  just about anytime it is not  115 deg. in Phoenix, Az. I used to adore  Thanksgiving and Christmas  before   marrying my husband and finding   out  dealing with the  visits  of  2  daughters  (16  & 26 now)  was a great hassle . Now I barely  acknowledge  the season. No one  buys me anything And  I only  buy for  friends now. 2 daughters  are  NOT  ever  in  the mood to hear the  word of God  ..EVER !! I am trying to work on these issues ,I know this  is not how God wants  me  to live.I need to love  Christmas  again !!!  I feell sad  that my husband never  encourages them to learn of God even in a small way.That is certainly NOT how he was  raised and his  parents are  very loving Christian  people. I pray they all will find some expression of  God some day.371d36d75e05eda735858f8e467be99c

I want to get back to  having fun and  enjoying the Holidays. The eldest daugther of my husband  hates me (but then she HATES her own mother also,so I am  just next in line.). This Christmas my  husband  promised me  just him and me ..NO kids at all. Well, we  shall see if he holds true  to this !!

Christmas is  magical ,and I want it  back !!! I pray to God , I can have it back and  feel  joyful  again.!! Iknow God  wants me to  be  happy and I want me to be happy.
