It seems so easy to loose site of the Christmas season! (excuse me for not being politically correct, but I am a Christian and refuse to be embarrassed about it!) Christmas should be about celebrating, relaxing and family. Yet we all fall in the trap of making it about schedules, shopping, and stress. ( I am all for taking away stess.)
Take time to look around you…..have you talked with your parents (my dad died when I was 19 trust me I would give anything to talk to him), sat down and played a game with your sibling or child, gone out to eat lunch with an old friend (not the ones you see everyday but the one you think of often yet never see), just wrestle with your dog. Step out of that routine of the trap and take a break. You will remember the Season when it is over and have much more than empty boxes, a few pictures, and 10 extra lbs (This is a free way to lose weight take a look..I am going to try it.) I am going to practice what I preach and hope you will share with me what memory you create.
My mother has always said it is quality time not quantity time that matters and if you are not creating memories you are wasting time. Well, Mom…..I GET IT….I am going to practice what you preach.
