While the rest of you are celebrating this fine Christmas morning, I'm actually relaxing and enjoying a peaceful weekend. My Christmas has been postponed for two weeks this year. That's the soonest I can gather my entire family under one roof, so I'm quite willing to wait.
Actually, once all the rest of you get to relax, I will probably start running around like a chicken with my head cut off. While I do have my tree up, most of my gifts aren't even wrapped yet. In fact, I just bought some needed wrapping paper yesterday. We took my oldest on out for lunch at Swiss Chalet, just so he would feel like some special event happened at Christmas. He's being so gracious about the delay, it only seemed fair.
I also finally picked up a turkey yesterday, since I saw a nice sized one at a very good price. We won't be eating that today. We'll have a special treat of Cornish hen though, and we have some other goodies to make things a bit festivel.
So, next week, while all of you are basking in the after Christmas glow, I'll still be wrapping, and baking and making my meat pies and getting ready.
Christmas isn't a date on the calendar, it's more of a state of mind and a feeling in your heart. May yours be everything you wanted it to be.
Your post made me smile! You are very right! It is more a state of mind and feeling in your heart. Get lots of rest now and maybe in two weeks you WON'T be running around like crazy. Just think, you get to take full advantage of the Boxing Day sales!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got your card -- and before Christmas even!
Blessings!
