I sit in my newly painted powder yellow room, color gracefully choisen by my mother. As I sit I stare out the window, watching the wind play with the dry brown leaves left over from late fall, they tumble and skid across my front yards' green and brown green grass. Above I watch a plateau of clouds drunge across the sky carrying in it all the snow that will come later in the day.
    The houses of my neighbors across the way have been in a festive mood lately, for they have put out wreaths, lights,tensle, and even placed a tree in their living room's picture window. Sadly, this year we don't have much decoration out, my Father's  hip won't allow him to climb up the ladder, as he used to do when he was only a few years younger. Thankfully, though, we have a small, pre-lit, purple Christmas Tree that my mother and I put up in our window just yesterday. A 2 1/2-3 foot tall tree that was on sale at Wal Mart for $10.
    My Mother keeps fretting the little things like saying,"Now, don't be upset this Christmas, we didn't get alot of presents." I tell her what I told her when I was 12, "I don't care what I get for Christmas, as long as I am with family!"
    The Resession hits the bast of people first. My mom for example, she is always trying to put everyone before her own well being, to do even just that she has to work two jobs, one as a High School lunch lady, the second as a maid (so to speak). And even with all that hard work that she does we still have little money to get by on.
    Even though we are going through all these hardships now, that doesn't mean that they will last forever, a new year is coming, that means that since we've made it this far, might as well keep going, right?
