Yikes…The Kids are Home and Full of Christmas Hype…
I absolutely love this time of year. I love putting the Christmas lights up (just wish someone would help me sometimes…) I love decorating the house, I love baking the cookies. The only thing I hate but I do it anyway is sending out the dreaded Christmas cards. I hate addressing the envelopes. I know, I know there is software to do that but I hate people who have printed envelopes and then just sign their card. No message no nothing. How boring…(Sorry if you are one of those people but come on if you are going to spend $.50 to send a card this is just going to end up in the trash please write at least one line of test telling me how you are doing…)
But no worries even though I don’t like the card part I still do it.
I woke up this morning at 6:00 (yup, slept in a little) it was still dark out and the snow is falling. So all I saw was a field of white reflecting red and white Christmas twinkles; a picture perfect hallmark moment!
I stopped and gave thanks….
So even though most of us may feel overwhelmed with the Christmas shopping hustle and bustle; kids home; complaining that there is nothing to do and a bank account that has taken on a whole new meaning to being in the red; take a moment and reflect on what you do have…Take just 10 seconds to give thanks…
Then just right back into the Christmas Crazies…
I am going to be working a little today but most of this weekend is family time. I am taking both my kids and a couple of the neighbors to go see Avatar this morning (its half price before noon…) IT IS A 3 HOUR MOVIE; it better be good…
Then I am dressing up and heading over to the neighbors for a little Christmas cheer.
Tomorrow is all about basketball.
Next week I will be touching base with you all through Wednesday morning but Wednesday at noon I am shutting her down and will not be back online till the following Monday. I chose to work from home so that I would have times like these to spend with my family and I am going to do that.
So I hope you day if full of fun and fantastic adventures…
And remember give thanks for all you do have each and every day…
