Christmas just hasn’t been the same since I moved to Arkansas. This will be my fourth Christmas here, but only the second that I’ve spent here since we drove home the first year…and I flew home alone the third. I miss the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. I miss shopping, and wrapping, and the sounds of my crazy family filling the house.
On the other hand, work is the same-crazy retail madness-and so the quietness of my Arkansas Christmas is comforting at times. Also comforting- having my tree up and decorated and other Christmas notions dotted throughout the house. The mini-tree in the bedroom casts a warm glow over the room that melts any homesickness and frustrations the moment I step into the room.
And…there’s always Skyping to get that dose of family craziness…
Merry Christmas Gina and Thom,and all the rest of the Knupp's. Lovin the picture of your dad, and the puppy!
