What is Christmas?

It depends on who you ask. For me, it's become a holiday that I do not get excited about anymore and I wish I did. I have a fake tree(thanks to my husband)that I detest and refuse to put up this year. My house is a complete wreck and I do not see any hope of getting it finished by Christmas with the "remodeling" projects I have going on, thus....I need help. Help with getting the spirit back within me. Any suggestions my blogger friends?
