Why is it always harder to find the Joy of the Season when its suppose to be all around you?
My bright idea this year was an Advent Calendar. Something for the children to look forward to all month long. A little surprise each day, an activity or small adventure. Something to help us find the Joy of the Season.
So far, so good. But then we always have those moments when I say "why have I done this to myself?" Example 1) when a certain child threw a fit at the Christmas tree farm and then proceeded to tell me that he hated his brother. JOY! 2) the inevitable fighting at family game night because one child or another doesn't like the game or doesn't have the patience for their siblings. JOY!
Are these the memories we are trying to build? Fighting, impatience, the dreaded forced time together? Its suppose to be a JOYous season right? Trying to find that JOY. If you know where its hiding let me know okay!
