I've even made the elves mad at me! I can't believe December is half over already. I don't have anything finished - in fact barely started for the holidays. I'm not one to be ahead of schedule anyway. I have never in my life had my shopping done in October, November or any other month for that matter. It seems like everything else in life just happens to be happening now too. Ah well, I wish I had another month to prepare but it will work out. My greatest wish in life is certainly not to have one more month of winter! Even though I have less time I'm going to try to do the opposite of my normal reaction to hurry up and instead slow down and enjoy the season. We've cut way back on the material aspect of the holidays, now we need to emphasize the spirit and enjoy our family and friends. Oh it will still be hectic around here but why should our normal routine change?

Just what or whois that elf patting? or is he pushing someone to do something? hmmmmnnn, you never know with elves! I love the blinking lights. It feels good when you cut back on the stress level, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI don't think I even know how to slow down and enjoy the holidays. This is my slow down time, and that is just because I took today off. :)
ReplyDeleteI still have a couple of gifts to buy, but that's about it. I still have food to make, school parties to plan for, but at least I finished all the wrapping so far. Took two hours though, and it was exhausting!
ReplyDeleteI think it's great you've cut back on the material aspect of the holiday. It's so commercialized, and I think it's important we remember the true meaning of Christmas.
