I DID IT!!!

I DID IT????   I JOINED ALL THOSE EARLY CHRISTMAS DECORATION PEOPLE AND PUT UP MY TREE ON SUNDAY .......AFTER CHURCH!....BUT I CAN'T FIND WHERE I PUT THE CHRISTMAS TREE SKIRT???? SO I WILL KEEP SEARCHING......THAT IS THE MYSTERY OF MY HOUSE TODAY......
I HAVE A PRETTY NEW TREE FROM WALMART....TALL, STRAIGHT.....DEMANDING AND COVERED WITH WHITE LIGHTS AND WHITE DECORATIONS.......I DOUBT ANYONE BUT ME SEES IT....BUT IT IS MY TREE....FOR ME! I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY MORE CHRISTMAS'S I WILL BE AROUND TO ENJOY....SO I AM DOING THIS FOR ME!..I HOPE I HAVE A FEW MORE.....BUT GOD ONLY KNOWS.  
THIS IS THE TIME OF THE YEAR THAT IT IS SO EASY TO GET DEPRESSED......YOU START REMEMBERING ALL THOSE WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS TIMES YOU ENJOYED GROWING UP....POOR....YES.....BUT WONDERFUL.   THAT NASTY HARD CANDY THAT EVERYONE LICKED TO SEE IF THEY LIKED IT....OR NOT.....AND SOON IT WAS ONE STICKY GLOB.....FEW DECORATIONS AND LIGHTS......YOU HUNG UP YOUR OWN SOX????  DAD AND YOU GIRLS WENT WITH HIM TO CUT DOWN YOUR OWN TREE AND HE NAILED A FLAT BOARD ON THE BOTTOM SO IT WOULD STAND UP AND YOU COULD ONLY PUT UP A TREE A WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS AS IT WOULD DRY UP WITHOUT WATER......AS YOU GOT OLDER THE CHRISTMAS DANCE....WHICH YOUR MOTHER USUALLY PLAYED IN THE BAND....WAS THE HIGH-LIGHT OF THE HOLIDAYS AND BY THEN YOU HAD UNWRAPPED AND REWRAPPED ALL YOUR PRESENTS AND KNEW WHAT YOU WERE GETTING????  BUT THOSE ARE THE MEMORIES THAT GET ME THROUGH THESE OLD AGE HOLIDAYS.....GOOD MEMORIES OF LOVE AND FUN.
MY FRIEND.....SHIRLEY CALLED ME TODAY AND SAID...... I AM SO DEPRESSED......I KNOW THAT FEELING.....IT HAPPENS ALOT TO OLD PEOPLE WHOSE LOVED ONES ARE GONE OR THEIR FAMILIES ARE TOO BUSY TO BE BOTHERED BY OLD PEOPLE....
YOU LOVE THE HOLIDAYS......AND YOU HATE THE HOLIDAYS......
AND
IT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU ALL....SO0NER OR LATER!
