Christmas

Can we believe it’s over? I personally am still on Christmas time…working in retail we work 10-12 hour days go home and eat and collapse in a chair…go to bed and get up and do it again tomorrow. When you make magic for others…your magic comes later.

Christmas Eve I bought gingerbread houses for all to decorate…my house was in crumbles but everyone else got to decorate theirs and we had a lovely time

We had a separate party judge….and the winner won this amazing gingerbread medal

We had lovely homemade chocolate my husband made. It was sooo good!

Christmas morning was lovely….i made a breakfast casserole that they all loved…we opened presents…

Tonight we finally went to see the local lights… not sure last year we ever even went. We ate some Mexican…we went and dropped off packages to our friends and family….we took a walk…we napped…it was lovely.

My list is long….return things my husband didn’t like…do inventory…go see my father at the retirement home…take down Christmas around the 7th….

The older I get, the more I realize this one simple fact. As an adult I can take down Christmas when I please…and there is no one saying it needs to be down by December 27th…if that’s you….cool….but in our house we haven’t seen it much…so we like it up longer.

For now, we clean…we organize, we still drink out of Santa mugs….

We nap and we plan for the most amazing month of the year….January.

This year we have big plans! Stay tuned!
