Christmas time = Family time

Every year since I have memories Thanksgiving and Christmas have been a huge part of my family's traditions. It gets tricky though when you get married. You don't just have one person's traditions to worry about any more. Instead you have two inlaws to worry about and develop new ones for your family. I remember that Fielding and my first Christmas was a bust in comparison to the Christmases I'd had in the past. We had a pathetically small Christmas tree that I borrowed from my parents with ornaments that I got from another friend, a couple gifts for Fielding and none for me. I know, every time someone hears about it they can't believe I didn't get anything. I have to give Fielding credit though. He hates the mall and had spent three or four hours wandering the mall trying to find the perfect gift with no success. Instead he came home empty handed. Last year he had me pick out some shoes for me, but this year I told him that I wanted to be surprised. He found exactly what I wanted. I have been telling Fielding for the longest time that I needed a another Fielding to cuddle with when I went to bed. (He has a weird sleep pattern.) So he got me a giant stuffed reindeer. It's awesome and I love it. It is perfect and makes me feel like a little kid when I move it because it is taller than me.
Thank you for a very merry Christmas Fielding!
