Howdy,
The Christmas decorations are up. Our 2nd daughter's birthday has passed (17, if you were curious). And now it's time to gear up for the season.
I so wish I could tell you that we have everything done for the holidays so that we can
just soak in the season. But that's not the case and I have come to learn that it will NEVER be the case. The holiday season is an ongoing endeavor throughout December. And it's only reasonable that things are not going to go as planned.
I've also learned this lesson.
You don't need much to make it feel like
Christmas when you have little ones.
This is the one thing we do every year for Christmas. We have cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate on Christmas
morning--been doing that for years. It wouldn't be Christmas without it. It's simple and something we can do every year.
I never thought it was anything
special, but my college-aged daughter said, "That's what we do on Christmas, Mom!"
Do you celebrate Christmas? Do you celebrate Kwanzaa or Hannukah?
Is there another holiday in December I'm missing?
What do you do to celebrate your holiday? What would you like to do and how can you pare it down to make
easy enough to do every year?
I promise simple things are best things.
