Even my sewing space has a Christmas tree this year! It’s been a while since I decorated the entire house. Christmas finally feels “normal” again. Our mailbox has Christmas cards. I wrapped several presents using actual wrapping paper instead of gift bags. Clark Howard’s Christmas Kids is in-person this year. Invites to holiday parties, luncheons and dinners have returned. Several homes in my area have really pulled out all the stops with their exterior holiday lights. Likewise, our local town has upped its game with new light displays and holiday event offerings. Big Girl enjoys our evening rides to look at Christmas lights. I’ve made sugar cookies, crafted with the kids, and re-discovered some favorite holiday movies.
Gifts this year are practical and/or handmade. I made a personalized READ pillow for each of my nieces and nephews. My inner librarian thoroughly enjoyed spending time at B&N selecting the just-right book and magazine for each kid.
Here’s to a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours. I’ll be offline enjoying the season with family and friends. See you in 2024!
