Wreath Season

It is wreath season. For many of you it is the Christmas Season or the season sometimes referred to as Winter. But not for me, it is wreath season. My husband has a wreath business, he makes fresh noble fir Christmas Wreaths and ships them all over the country. With this being wreath season I see my husband about 5 minutes, 10 minutes tops, a day. It is a real struggle for me this year as it is the first year we have had a child during wreath season, I have become a single mom. I have always felt that single parents deserve more kudos than they are given and now I believe that more than ever. So my hats are off to those of you who do not have help at home, you deserve a medal, this is harder than I imagined.
Getting back to wreath season. With wreath season comes the Victorian Country Christmas, a gift show at the Puyallup Fair Grounds. We started going to this show about 3 years ago and I have always enjoyed my time there. All of the vendors dress up in victorian outfits and for us selling wreaths freeze their butts off outside in the cold winter rain. But hey it is only 5 days and I have roped Julie into working every waking hour at VCC again this year so life is good.

Happy Wreath Season. Oh, do you like how I said wreath season about 20 times in the blog?
