My Very Merry Christmas Mishap
Well, what a Christmas it was! I thought a trip to the local grocery store for a live Christmas tree would be a simple enough task. Little did I know, it was the start of a series of unfortunate (and hilarious) events.
We lugged that prickly green giant home, only to discover it was more stubborn than a two-year-old during a tantrum. After what felt like hours of wrestling with tinsel and tangled lights, we finally had our tree looking festive and fabulous.
Next up: presents! As I carefully wrapped each gift, visions of sugarplums and a peaceful Christmas morning danced in my head. But, as we all know, the best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry.
The night before Christmas, I couldn't resist a midnight sneak peek under the tree. As I crept closer, the tree, in all its glory, decided it had had enough. With a thunderous crash, it toppled over, burying me in a pile of tinsel and ornaments. Granny, ever the hero, dragged me out by my ankles, scolding me like a naughty puppy.
Christmas morning arrived, and I was eager to unwrap my presents. But, in my haste, I grabbed the first gift I could find. Imagine my surprise when I unwrapped... underwear and socks! Talk about a festive fashion statement!
Despite the chaotic tree incident and the questionable gift choice, Christmas 2023 will forever be etched in my memory as a truly unforgettable experience. Here's to hoping next year's holiday season is a little less eventful (and a little more underwear-free)!

My birthday and Granny's birthday are in December but because we were poor, she bought 1 extra gift for me to unwrap for my gift. Now, I could pick any gift she meticulously wrapped But, in my haste, I grabbed the first gift I could find. Imagine my surprise when I unwrapped... underwear and socks! Talk about a festive fashion statement!
Despite the chaotic tree incident and the questionable gift choice, Christmas of 1983 will forever be etched in my memory as a truly unforgettable experience. Now that Granny has been gone 1 year those underwear and sock boxes will be more missed than ever. It's important through dark times, stressful times and strange holiday seasonal transitions to understand that making new traditions the way that makes you most happy in the present is more important than being miserable stuck in Christmas Past.
Cry if you must, remember what brings you joy but don't allow old memories and past events to control a more productive festive future. It's great to have had the people in the past but it's also great to understand that there will be people to carry on with in your future and you don't know who that may be.
Merry Christmas and Happy 50th Birthday to ME this week!
