We build up so much anticipation for Christmas that we truly need some down time before the New Year kicks in..we personally have had some major changes happen leading to this particular holiday…lost of a very special family member and life threatening situations for others..mentally the last 7 months have been busy..one benefit for us is that our kids are no longer babies..(but, always our babies) so, shopping for them was a breeze..they are now in the money, necessities and basic category..which I can say we have never really felt the Christmas shopping pressure to buy them the latest toy ever since they were born..it has always been a tradition to shop one full day and call it done..
So, today has been one of no travels..while the traveler in me thought hey, let’s go explore some where while we have the time..the realistic me..said nope, enjoy the day in relaxation and rest..video games have been played, food has been eaten, blogs have been written and pajamas have been maintained…sure, there are plenty of things around the house that can be done..like taking down the Goodwill tree that we put up right before we went out of town for the week..or get rid of the Ginger Bread House that has been sitting out since then..that I’m sure is rock hard by now, unpack clothes or put up gifts received even put away loads of laundry that I overlook as I walk into my room..but, guess what none of that will get done today..why because I will continue to spend time with my family..we will continue to laugh and crack jokes on one another in love..lol..and we will continue to thank God for the life we live and blessings He has bestowed upon us…and hey, there’s always tomorrow.. maybe 😉
