So behind…
It’s December, Christmas is on the way and I’m in holiday high gear, but I’m already feeling behind ~ are you?
I am sure having an infant and a two year old has something to do with it! But I have decided to try not to stress to much about it this year. I can choose to be crazy, obsessed, frenzied and a total wreck. OR I can choose to accept that everything is not as precise as my Virgo perfectionist would like…gifts may be in bags with tissue instead of boxes with the elaborate bows I so love making, all my home decor may not be out, the roof leaks may not be totally invisible from inside the house, and we are not ~ as of yet ~ equal to the Griswold Family when it comes to outdoor lighting. But this is where I am letting go of the total control I sometimes crave and saying, “c’est la vie”. I have other things, and more importantly other people, especially my two little boys who need and deserve my nurturing and attention.
We all just really want to be together with the people we love who love us back, right? And that’s what I intend to do. We’ll go to a few shindigs ~ I do love getting gussied up, host a few of our own (somehow we’re having three bashes here, not including Christmas day lunch!) and it will be wonderful and perfect and no one will care if I rearranged the china cabinet.
FYI ~ Our tree stands officially 16′ 2.5″ high without angel or tree topper!
