here's the 411 on holiday prep
now that the days-until-Christmas has reached single digits:
-Christmas tree: UP
-Ornaments: ON
-Train under tree: CHECK
-Lights on bushes: YES
-Wreaths and greens festooning the property: CHECK
-Christmas cards: TRICKLING OUT
-Shopping: SLOWING
-Wrapping: NOT MY FAVORITE TASK
-Gingerbread men: BAKED, FROSTED and EATEN
-Remembering the goal is not about checking off boxes: (OH..., right)
I hope you're doing most of the following (I'm trying to make these my top priorities):
-Sitting by a fire
-Reading a good book
-Thinking about loved ones
-Sharing a good memory
-Choosing not to go to every party/function
-relaxing and simplifying your December.
XO
Carry on!
Sounds wonderful! I love wrapping - too bad I'm not closer or I'd help you out with the task.
ReplyDeleteI can't go to every function when they keep being cancelled.
ReplyDeleteMy December is simplified. I'm loving it. :)
ReplyDeletedone done and DONE!
ReplyDeleteCards done, only shopped for three people, wrapped, and two mailed, baked a fruit cake and German stollen, put lights in windows and ceramic tree in living room--My Christmas is simplified by choosing to do very little and taking care of myself.
ReplyDeleteCute post. Love the picture. Did you take it?
