Christmas

I can't believe Christmas is just a week away. I have had a very hard time getting into the spirit this year. To be honest I have had to force myself to do a lot of things. My wonderful husband is in the middle of peak and has been working longer and harder than he has in years past. I am so very grateful he has a job its just so very hard this time of year because I spend a lot of the time alone. I so wish he had a job that would allow us to go to Oklahoma for Christmas from time to time but right now he doesn't. I have a new found appreciation for those who have spouses who work far from home. I don't know how they do it day after day.
