I’m glad that a lot of people wrote about times of year other than Christmas for the Group Writing Project—it’s nice to be reminded of all the wonderful times we’ve each had this year. But I’m also glad that many people wrote about Christmas—because I’m having a rough time with Christmas this year.
After I spent many minutes in Costco looking for a specific gift for Ryan, I finally resorted to calling Ryan to ask him where exactly he’d seen this gift. While we’re on the phone, I get cut off, held up and extremely frustrated.
“I hate Christmas,” I told Ryan. “I don’t hate Jesus. I just hate Christmas.”
I told that to a leader at church tonight. He told me what he was getting his wife for Christmas—a bathroom remodel, already in progress. If you’ve ever remodeled or even thought about it, you probably know how often those unexpected, last minute, oops-the-tub-sticks-out-into-the-doorway adventures.
At least I don’t have to deal with that.
