What can I do to slow it down?
How can I make it simpler?
What am I doing to treasure the moments as they come?
Christmas seems to have jumped on us this year with no advance notice. I was sick on Thanksgiving weekend, which is usually when we purchase and decorate our tree and house. The tree finally happened exactly 10 days before Christmas. It came into the house 3 days ago. It has two ornaments on it.
But we are happy.
Airman Son has arrived, and we have been enjoying time with him.
We will visit with family, and enjoy some quiet moments at home.
Even with the lack of decorations, I'm hoping it will be meaningful.
And what are we eating, you may ask? :)
Monday~ the shot from the doc took effect. I feel MUCH better. Airman Son arrives. Beef tenderloin, twice baked potatoes, tossed green salad, rolls.
Tuesday~ going over to my parents' house to celebrate with them. Mom's Lasagna!
Wednesday~ CHRISTMAS DAY!! Organic ham, pasta salad (hubby's request), Ellie Krieger's Maple Citrus Salad, swiss beans, crescent rolls, and chocolate cake for dessert (again, at hub's request).
Thursday~ Spaghetti. Simple and comforting.
Friday~ Various leftovers from the week.
Saturday~ Airman Son returns to duty; I'll decide then what to cook. Maybe some soup.
May your holiday be blessed with love and peace.

Enjoy your time with family and friends. I think because we get sick puts us behind and in my house it made college girls pitch in and decorate and bake cookies. However I am definitely behind in dinner catching up today. Long as we all make it together that's fine. I don't think we are supposed to get it ALL done or Perfect. Otherwise we would not be connected to what we enjoyed.
Sometimes a simple holiday is better. I hope you have enjoyed some down time resting and being with family.
