The Thanksgiving decorations are stowed for another year and the boxes of Christmas decorations seem to come from every possible storage area just waiting
to be displayed.
As with so many holidays, Christmas at our house has its traditions too. One of the highlights seems to be decorating gingerbread houses. What began with two families had now grown to include our children's spouses and grandchildren. Everyone brings candy and their secret blueprints to decorate their special prefab house. When they are finished they are dusted with powdered sugar snow and pictures are taken.
When the holidays gets you just a little too frazzled don't forget to take a step back and take moments all in, the good ones and the not so good ones. From the smiles on the littlest of faces, frosting all over the counters, too many parts leftover from assembling the bike, and who is coming to visit?
Trace Adkins song says it perfectly. "You're gonna miss this / you're gonna want this back / you're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast."
Enjoy the new 'Gingerbread House' BerryWeather and 'Home for the Holiday' which is still one of my favorite. You will find new wallpapers to coordinate and a few new BatteryEx icons posted along with a special one you can have your name on the stocking. Look at the new Custom tab for instructions.
We may not have the Christmas shopping done, the cards written, or the outfits purchased, but it's so easy to have your BlackBerry looking in the holiday spirit even if we aren't quite there yet.
