Sometimes All It Takes Is One Little Thing

---

This husband of mine…

Is a Bah-Humbugger…the been there done that…too much commercialism…just because he can…don’t know why…don’t care why…

But when the holidays come around…so do the ughs…the eye rolls…the sniffs the snorts the omg-the-Hallmark-movies-are-so-painfully-fake-they’re-ridiculous observations…

Until that day in Hobby Lobby…a pillow turning the tables…had to have it…HE had to have it…kicking in a holiday spirit one of us wants to pretend he doesn’t have…

Throwing that pillow in the cart…searching the ornament aisles for little orange cat decor…wishing each other a Meowy Christmas…

Couple that with the mushroom obsession…and this little Texas cabin of ours…is filled with joy…Christmas joy…a let’s go see the Christmas lights joy…go to the holiday market joy…do a little Christmas shopping joy…

And so it is…in life…sometimes all it takes is one thing…one seemingly innocent thing…a smile…a compliment…a big orange pillow you certainly don’t need…

To get the ball rolling…melt the ice so to speak…to chip away at whatever might be causing the bah humbugs…

So DO the one thing…BE the one thing…because everyone deserves to enjoy…a very Pumpkin Christmas…

And that bah humbugger of mine…agrees…
