The Holidays

I love the Holidays. I love the fact I have my family, and my friends and the fact I was able to cook for everyone during the Thanksgiving holiday. When I cook it was as if I was in my own world,  and my purpose to give a meal that everyone would remember. I got lucky this year by having the opportunity to cook twice. I live to hear the words delicious, and I am so full I am Miserable. The best part about the Thanksgiving holiday was my husband was home. I was elated beyond compare, to have hime here to enjoy the warm home cooked meal that he would not really have unless he was home.
My kids were happy to be able to see him, as well as our friends and family. He works his butt off to deserve his time home.  What better time than the holidays.  This next Holiday "Christmas" is not going to be the same however. Out of the last 12 years that we have had christams together, this year we will not. Responsability over rules tylors home time. Is it going to effect our Christmas? The answer is yes, I gave our kids the decision to have Christmas on time or wait til daddy comes home. Half the kids said wait for daddy, the other half said have Christmas on Christmas. It tugs on my heart very badly because I know if it was up to me I would wait for him. Today Tylor called me and said you know what you need to do Christmas on the 25th , because it is the day it should be celebrated. All he want to do is Skype with the kids, and see their excitement  on the day of is all he wants. I have to admit I was in tears when he told me that, but relieved at the same time. So the kids are not disappointed. I just love him for being so selfless.  I heart him :)
