Dog Mom Days Christmas 2018 Recap

December 27, 2018 By Amanda 2 Comments

Dog Mom Days Christmas 2018For the first time in my Christmas-loving life, I am relieved that the holiday is over. I’ve always been obsessed with everything revolving around Christmas. However, 2018 was such a crappy, difficult year, that at this point I’m just ready for 2019 to be here. During the holiday season this year I was on an extremely tight budget and often times I was feeling alone, two things that make Christmas very stressful for people. Although I was almost counting down the days until December 26th, I did end up having a wonderful Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with very special people in my life. And of course, everything is okay when I have my son ๐Ÿ™‚

I hope that at this time next year I can look back and say to myself, “Wow. Last year sucked but I made it and this year has been 10 times better!” But in the meantime, we made it through Christmas and had a great time.

Christmas Eve day was a great one for Wynston and I. I went to lunch with a friend who is leaving to serve our country, then we spent the day relaxing, playing video games and watching Christmas movies. It was a wonderful day ๐Ÿ™‚ No drama, no stress. Just how I like it.

For Christmas Day Wynston and I went to my mom’s house. We made our way over there around 11am to spend the day. My mom, stepdad, brother and I opened some presents, snacked and chatted. Mom and I took our dogs on a nice long walk, as the weather was absolutely glorious. When we got back to the house, cooking and relaxing continued.

My step-siblings arrived to the party around 4pm. We started by opening more presents, which is always fun! Wynston got lots of goodies, including a new blankie, toys and dental chews.

For dinner we had my favorite, traditional feast – turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, corn and lots of pie. My favorite dessert was homemade cheesecake ๐Ÿ™‚

We had a lovely meal, and the dogs got their fair share…obviously.

For those of you who don’t know, my stepdad has stage 4 cancer. He was officially diagnosed in 2016. Although I’m always mindful of making new memories with him, I try and make sure that I document them thoroughly. Life is precious, and you never know how long you have with your loved ones.

Wynston and I had a beautiful Christmas, but I’m ready for 2019. We have lots of goals and plans for the fresh start.

How was your Christmas?

    I am with you this year. I couldn’t wait for December 26th to arrive. But I was also pleasantly surprised by a lovely Christmas Eve and Day that I thought would be difficult. God does watch over us in our time of need ๐Ÿ™‚ . I still need to sit down and write my goals for 2019. I have been thinking about them for a few weeks just haven’t put them to paper yet. My Chihuahua tribe and I wish you and your crew a very Happy New Year and hope for 100 times better year then last year!!!!!!
