Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, totally worn out and screaming,
"WOO HOO, what a ride!"

Christmas Schedule


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?

  1. 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?

  2. I 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. :)

  3. I 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!

    I 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.
