Holiday Spirit!

Usually this time of year I am pulling my hair out. Since traveling with my husband, our time at home is very limited. In the past few years we get home two days before Christmas and decorate, shop and have our family over in such a rush, I sometimes cringe at the thought.

This year we were home over Thanksgiving, we used our time wisely, we decorated, shopped and even baked a few Christmas cookies. So now when we do return home, we can do a few small details and enjoy the season with our family and friends. It just seems much more relaxed to me and I am really into the holiday spirit this year.

The month of December is sometimes so busy we just don't take the time to sit back and enjoy the holiday season, however you may spend it. This year, I am going to enjoy the season, not let myself feel stressed or sad. I am going to embrace the good with the bad.

How about you? Do you embrace and enjoy the holidays? or do you find them overwhelining and can't wait for it all to be over with?
