Perspective
I haven't felt overly Christmasy yet this year. I think it's because I haven't been out hitting the malls and doing much along the lines of Christmas shopping. Steve and I made the decision to really reign in on the Christmas gifts this year - like much of the rest of the country, we're needing to be a bit more serious about having (and following) a budget and so some adjustments have been made. It makes me a bit sad to think that I have really fallen in to the commercialization of Christmas and that Christmas cheer seems to come with Christmas spending. It's time to re-group, come back to center, and get some perspective. Oh, and bust out some Christmas cheer!

Katie,
ReplyDeleteI was definitely feeling that way too! Last night really helped when we put up our tree, I got out all of our favorite little "Holiday touches", we watched "It's a Wonderful Life", listened to some Holiday Tunes, and sat by a warm fireplace with warm cookies. We went shopping, but only at target for one or two small things. Maybe go out for some hot chocolate in a place that's really Christmassy? Hope your Holidays are wonderful!
