Colleen O'Quinn — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 14:35:33 +0000

My mom sent this to me in an email. I am usually pretty organized at Christmas. Get the gifts bought and wrapped early, homemade Christmas goodies, and time to relax with the kids.

This year is different, and I am still not done shopping and wrapping. NO homemade Christmas goodies. Going to try and get some of that done tomorrow.

Keeping Your Holidays Jolly

I love Christmas…now…but it hasn’t always been that way. As a kid, the holidays were wonderful, but I went through a few tough ones after my divorce.

Mike and I were very busy when we were first married. He had a new business, we had a new baby, and didn't have a lot of extra money.
