We had a lovely Christmas this year full of quiet time, naps, presents and Mass. We stayed home for the big day, built an igloo for 4 and had a lovely time! Then off to the parents house, more presents, lots of dancing and laughs, and back home. All in all, it was a great time. I am terribly happy to be home, I love being at home, but the whole Christmas "ordeal" wasn't such an ordeal after all. Some times I dread this time of year just because of all that has to be done, and it seems a bit of a struggle, but I have found a way out of that.
My plan this year was to slow down, relax and enjoy, and I did just that. I was calm and relaxed and the whole thing turned out to be lovely. Christmas was so nice, just my little family. Lots of presents, my turkey turned out great, and there was a great nap to be had! We went to Mass, and it was so beautiful. I ended up crying, just because I started to think and the whole environment makes me a bit emotional.
Then it was off to my parent's house, and that ended up being pretty good!
Overall, it was a great Christmas this year. We have a week left of being off, and I know I could use more time with the kids. Well I say that now! I just find that being a much calmer person really helps in times when things can get a bit crazy.
Happy holidays to all!
