I don't particularly like holidays, excluding getting time off from work of course. Growing up Christmas was one of my most favorite times of the year. But now that I have gotten older I don't enjoy Christmas as much as I used to. Don't get me wrong, I love seeing my kids get really excited when they open the presents and the experience of them giving gifts to others is very worthwhile.
This year we had our son Mason's Tonsils/Adenoids removed on Dec 23, two days before Christmas. We thought that he could recover during the School Christmas break and be back to 100% when school got started next year. Mason has had severely swollen & inflamed tonsils most of his life, so it needed to happen sometime. Well I feel bad because he didn't get to visit family or really go anywhere during Christmas because of the side effects of his pain meds. He was severely nauseated and miserable. He is beginning to feel a little better now, but it was a tough stretch there for a while.
So when Mason grows older and when people ask him what was his most memorable Christmas, he will probably say, "Well it would have been the Christmas in 2008. Because that was when my parents thought it would be a good idea to have my tonsils/adenoids removed 2 days before Christmas. I was completely miserable that Christmas. What were they thinking?!?"
So I offer my deepest apology to you Mason. I hope that someday you can forgive me.
