What I’m changing for the holidays!
Most people are in the holiday shuffle shopping mind set, finding parking at the mall or wherever, what do I get for the kids, parents, friends, and so on. How many places do I need to go, how many parties, what to cook, what to wear, and so on. It makes me tired just reading it!
I use to be that way but now it's different. With all the changes that took place over this last year, I have a new outlook on the holiday season.
First, I'm only going to buy presents for those people that I REALLY want to buy something for and that will appreciate it. Everyone else will get a card.
Speaking of cards, I am going to send more this year. I think it's a great way to catch everyone up on our family, just in case they may be interested.
Second, I'm going to my first cookie exchange. This does require me to cook so I'll apologize now and happily take my 4 dozen. My boys will be very excited for me to come home with other people's cookies. If everyone who ate my cookies survives, I'll make this an annual item.
Third, I'm going to watch every single holiday girlie movie that I can squeeze in. Since they are only on about twice during the holiday season, why not go all out? I'm well stocked with Kleenex and wine and occasionally a girlfriend to watch with.
Fourth, did you know there is such a thing as Yule School? Who knew? That is where some fantastically talented person teaches you how to decorate your home and tree for the holiday season. I can hardly wait!
Last, I'm going to hug my friends and family until they are absolutely sick of it! I can't wait!
I hope your holiday season, no matter what you celebrate, is a happy and blessed one. Merry Christmas!
