Advent

1st Sunday in advent and I have been to church, remebering the reason for the season. And boy am I glad I did. I spent a couple of hours in town and got so depressed, feeling rather insecure at the moment and Christmas is really, really stressful when you have no money whatsoever. It's like you want to buy presents from anyone so the urge to just stick it on your credit card is huge!!! But you know that you will be paying it off until next christmas. So you can't. Horrible. therefore it was wonderful to be reminded that even if we get a scrawny looking tree and the cheapest tinsel around the reason why we are celebrating isn't going to go away. Amazing reassurance.
