We finally took down our Christmas decorations. It's such a sad day when you pack it all up.
The house seems so empty and plain without all the bright Christmas cheer.
It's so hard to watch everything go back to normal.
We said good bye until next year to all our little Christmas friends and we felt a little mournful.
I knew it was going to be a difficult day as it is every year. So I had a plan! I bought a fruit cake at the grocery store before Christmas and saved it for this day to cheer us up!
I've never tried one of these because people never have very good things to say about fruit cake but I've always thought they sounded interesting.
When I showed the girls they instantly transformed from depressed to excited and happy!
"I want a piece!"
"Yes please, I'd love a slice!"
"I'll try some too!"
They girls were more than thrilled to have a little taste of Christmas all over again.
I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by how good the cake actually is! The smell alone was an instant flash back to that indescribable Christmas feeling.
For a moment we all forgot about how empty the house looked and that Christmas was behind us.
Our house may look naked now and there may not be countless holiday events going on anymore but we can still feel the spirit of Christmas within us. Christmas is all about generosity, mercy, forgiveness, and love which is always in your heart as long as you keep it alive and you don't need garland and sparkly bows for that. :)
It may almost be February but we still want to wish you a
Merry Christmas Spirit in your heart always!!
