Last night I put up my Christmas tree. As I was bringing up the boxes I realized that I lost about two thirds of my Christmas decorations due to the flood in my basement. I was a little bit sad because I lost my tree skirt, table cloth, table runner, all of my childhood stockings, and many decorations that I've had for years but I decided that they are only things. Christmas is about more than just things! I now have an opportunity to get some new decorations!
I'm really glad that the cleaning company was able to save my Christmas tree because I really love it! Even though I lost a few of my ornaments I still had enough to fill my tree including all of the hockey player ornaments and the hand carved ornaments from Germany. I will have to start collecting some more. My house might not look like it usually does but I am still really excited for Christmas!
Note: Yesterday was the first time I fully realized the extent of what I lost in the flood. It was very upsetting for a little while. But I think I learned a valuable lesson on attachment to things. Things do not really make you happy!
