I wouldn't say I'm a Scrooge, but I struggle finding joy in the season. There's just an overwhelming amount of stuff to do, and never enough time or money.
There's a person at work who LOVES Christmas. He and his wife have their tree up and house decorated before Halloween. His joy of the season is infectious.
I enjoy making wood projects. He texted me a picture of one of those deer made out of firewood/logs. Said if I have time it would be great if I made one for the display where Santa sits, and we let people use for photos. I've been wanting to make one, so It was fun, and my son helped, so even better. It got a great response from lots of people. I even got a request for 2 a customer wanted to buy., (I just didn't have time) It made me feel good.
Last week the person who asked me to make it (the Christmas guy) wanted to know what I would charge for the deer? I told him he could have it. He was so happy. This week he told me he was going to take it home after Santa came. He said his wife is very excited.
Their joy in this simple gift has given me a boost I really needed.
Merry Christmas everyone, I hope you find joy this season
