Yesterday, Saturday, December 5th, 2009, we took Bayleigh to the Greenwood Park Mall to visit Santa. For the last several years before going we have stopped at Shelbyville Wal-Mart to get a free 5x7 with their Santa too. (I didn't include that picture with this post).
Bayleigh was very excited to tell Santa in person that she wants a Zhu Zhu Pet Hamster for Christmas this year. We always allow Bayleigh to ask for 1 gift from Santa because we know he is very busy making all the toys for all of the girls and boys in the world. :) The Zhu Zhu Pet is THE, I mean THE item of the year and it is almost impossible to find them in the stores. It is simply an $8 toy that can be found at Wal-Mart and then of course there are a ton of accessories too. It's even all over the news about the demand for them. So, OF COURSE that is what my child wants. I hope she was a good girl this year and gets what she is hoping for. ;)
Everyone keeps asking me what I want for Christmas and my Birthday. This year has been a real struggle for us in different aspects. I have thought long and hard and the truth is, there is no materialistic thing I want. I just want health and happiness. That's all. Of course world peace would be nice too, but keeping it on my door step, that's all I want.
I find myself slipping into a bit of depression in the winter months and I know it is fueled by serveral things. I am trying really hard to keep my chin up and just go with the flow of things. That is really all you can do anyways. I am not going to let my life be controlled by something I choose it not to be controlled by. :) I choose to stay positive. See the good. Find the good when it's not always visible and just be thankful for what I do have. So far, it's working for me. :)
I hope as the holidays are approaching you find yourself enjoying all of the blessings in your life and that Santa is very kind to all of you. :)
Happy Holidays!
