On the 1st day of Christmas, Face First gave to me. . .
Ummmm, wasn’t it fall just a few seconds ago? Before we knew it, the Christmas season was here! All my girls here at Face say I’m a grinch. Everyone who knows me says I’m a grinch. But let’s be honest. . . Christmas can be stressful, expensive, and draining. Too many places to be, freezing cold weather, it gets dark to early (which is thievery to an outdoors-y girl), it’s gloomy, and I hate to wear a coat. I’m not into putting up a million dollar miniature snow village; I can’t stand to drag the tree out of the attic (then the lights never work); I’m not about putting up 896 holiday decorations for only 4-6 weeks (although I can live with white lights year ‘round); I’m just not that girl. When my kids were little, I pulled out all the stops, but they don’t care anymore either. So, I choose my battles at Christmas. No tree, no gifts, and a trip to the beach and we are immensely happy.
My biggest issue with the holidays is the loss of meaning. Christmas means one thing to me, and one thing only. I love to celebrate the birth of my Savior. I can do without the hoopla, the presents, the snow, and the innate urge to spend millions on gifts for every person I know. I love to be with my family. I love to go somewhere warm in lieu of gifts and create memories. I love that I live in a country where that is my right. I love that Someone died FOR ME…. I’m not really a grinch. I just celebrate different. I love to see people be kind and giving. I love to give. I love to help.
Today, I had a random follower (someone I sort of know) that started following one of our social media accounts. Do you ever get a new follower and go to your own page to see what they see, in their perspective? I did that today. It was crazy and I almost cried. I looked over photo after photo of my gorgeous children. There were photos of them doing the things they love, residing in places they feel confident, needed, and loved. So many smiling photos of my children, my husband, and myself living life large. Photos of my business with graphics that I spent way too much time on, but that’s just who I am. Giving all I’ve got to Face and to my absolutely amazing family. I looked back over 6 months or so of posts and thought, “wow, Edie…. You are so blessed. Even on your worst day, you’ve got it all. The perfect life. The job so many would love to have. The boy AND the girl. A king for a husband.” Just picture perfect. But, sometimes it doesn’t feel that way. Being self-employed is hard. Being a mom is hard. Being a wife is hard. Smiling all day is sometimes hard. Sending a kid to college is hard. Working 12-18+ hours a day is hard. Paying bills is hard. Pretending to have a great day when your mind is swimming with worry is hard. Being patient is hard. Life can really be hard sometimes, and dangit, I have it good, but I hurt for people that really have it HARD. And as females, we overthink and put way too much pressure on ourselves. And gosh, we can be so HARD on one another…
I encourage you to scroll back through your own social media or pull out a photo album and go back in time. Life is such a gift. My children are the ultimate gifts from the Father. My husband is solid gold in my eyes. My family is precious. My friends I would die for. My business is all mine and I get to do EVERYDAY what I love to do. Thank you, Jesus, during this magical time of year for the ultimate sacrifice. I know that must have been SO HARD.
Now, on to a lighter subject. Proving everyone wrong… I’m no grinch. Because here at Face, I am offering my valuable, loyal clients “The 12 Days of Christmas”. Because life can be hard.
