We've been busy with lots of holiday happenings lately....Picked the perfect short, fat tree. Found the perfect spot for it in our living room. Rediscovered favorite ornaments and added some new ones. Hung our stockings. Crashed into a snowbank on the way to work...close one. Did our annual shopping night on Elmwood. Discovered one of the stores was closed...ugh. Enjoyed the night anyways with burgers at Coles. Heard some holiday tunes at the Buffalo Gay Men's Chorus Sounds of the Season Concert. It's my third year going and it has become a FAVORITE event of mine. Wrapped a few gifts. Got to peek inside homes jazzed up for the holidays in our village on EA Holiday Tour of Homes. Some were charming, some made me realize how much more I love my own home and one was out of this world. Shared dinners and desserts with the ones we love. Wrote, licked, addressed and stamped Christmas cards.
Up next...parties, baking, racing and caroling. Holy holiday fun!!!
Too often we get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season and forget the purpose of the holiday. For me it's a time to appreciate good health, good friends and wonderful family. To indulge in the decorations, carols, celebrations and traditions. To still laugh about childhood Christmas memories. To take drives to look at Christmas lights. To nestle on the couch watching Christmas movies and forgetting about everything else. To cherish time together doing things that make us feel joyful, merry and bright.
