Yes, the Holidays can be a drag - commerialism, debt, family drama, traffic jams and all the other CRAP that can spoil the magic of the season.
I decided some years ago that the memories that brought me JOY, were too important to let go of. The Holiday season is what you make it. So... with that said... these are but a few of the things I look forward too...
- Eating my fill on Thanksgiving day.
- Eating my fill of left-overs on Thanksgiving day NIGHT.
- Baking Christmas cookies and eating more dough than actual cookies made.
- Decorating the Tree.
- Singing Christmas songs at the top of my lungs while my children look on in horror.
- Shopping and finding the PERFECT gift for someone special.
- Curling up in front of a blazing fire.
- Sitting quietly in the dark after everyone has gone to bed, watching the sparlking lights of the Tree.
- Watching "A Christmas Carol" on Christmas eve.
- The smell of a fresh Christmas tree.
- My Dad's pecan pie.
- My Mom's cooking.
- Watching my children's faces on Christmas morning.
- Walking at night when the snow is falling.
*smiling*... I could go on and on...
