Re-Thinking the Holidays

Not including the tree with its ornaments, wreaths, table settings and other little things sprinkled about, I have amassed 342 Christmas Decorations. When I’ve looked back over the last few years, it’s really way too much.

Is It Time To Decorate Yet?

Over the years, Hubby has allowed me (or put up with) my obsession for all things Christmas. From watching every sappy Hallmark Movie ever made, to hunting down ugly sweaters and insisting everyone wear one to matching PJs when Kiddo was a wee one. Love it all.

Couldn’t Wait!

My Wish to You

May the Lights of Christmas bring Joy

Throughout the Christmas Season, we are bombarded with images that have so little to do with what is important in the grand scheme of things. Big ticket items and rushing about to be the first on the block with the latest electronic whatever. So much of Christmas is lost in the process.

Leading up to Christmas Day, I kept hearing the same thing from my home health nurse, from my doctor and most of all from my family. Don’t over do it. I’m only now reaching the half-way point in healing process from open heart surgery. The only restriction that remains (besides stretching and bending) is the “don’t over do” rule.
