I've come to realize that ...Yes to all of this. I've come to realize that holidays are just so much WORK and appreciate all my mom did growing up... and I'm trying to prioritize (read: simplify!) so it doesn't get too stressful and make me go crazy, but to make it extra special in little ways if I can. <br /><br />and really, the laundry needs to just stop for a few days... as a Christmas gift to all moms who have lots of other things to do!Francinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05904134944835186397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883970092765312318.post-1868172627712497122015-12-23T09:43:23.892-07:002015-12-23T09:43:23.892-07:00Yikes praying no one else gets sick!!!

This is ou...I totally identify with this right now. This is our 9-months pregnant Christmas, we could have a baby any day now. It's our sixth, so there are five born children to wrap presents for, which is a lot of gifts even with our moderate gift-giving traditions. I am not currently sick, but most of us had colds the second week of December, which put us behind schedule on all the holiday prep. We have done a little baking, but not all the baking I had wanted. We have done a little decorating, but not all the decorating I had wanted. So I am trying to be okay with whatever does happen, in the interest of keeping my sanity, and making the holiday enjoyable for all of us. Because I agree, I don't want to remember holidays as always being the frazzled, stressed out times. I want to be able to enjoy my kids' enjoyment, and my own, too. Here's hoping for fun and meaningful celebrations for all of us!

Whenever life gets crazy around Christmastime (yes, I'm still in the process of present-shopping today haha), I get so reassured by the fact that the Christmas season lasts until the Baptism of the Lord. So, we have a solid two-ish weeks this year of Christmas season, and it makes me feel better if I can't finish up so-and-so's present by Thursday/Friday, or if I can't make that one batch of cookies I planned on making. I hope that everything goes smoothly for you and your family as you finish up Advent and that you have a peaceful, relaxing, fun Christmas celebration! :) AnneMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13462442204217572325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883970092765312318.post-82857354782453753072015-12-22T13:20:50.518-07:002015-12-22T13:20:50.518-07:00Seems everyone is catching something!

And I'm definitely learning that Christmas Joy and Goodness will happen no matter what I do or don't do. We're having baby #3 next week on Tues so there has been no baking, nor much cooking, most presents are here but all the little things I need and want to do before baby gets here are just on hold because of life. Praying we get it done this wknd!
