Oh Holidays







Now that the Nutcracker is over, its time to get serious about the holidays...getting boxes off to long distance family, finishing up Christmas cards, and making cookies for neighbors. I"m taking 4 days off both Christmas and New Years weekend, which I"m looking forward to. On Thanksgiving, I had a 4 day weekend and it was so rejuvenating...
This time of year is always incredibly busy. Its easy to feel slightly overwhelmed inside, but I try to push it aside and remember that the thing that matters the most during the holidays is to be thankful for friends, family, health and the other details (boxes, gifts, etc) is all trivial. Sometimes during these two weeks of the year, it feels like time and holiday pressures are a snowball, going down hill, picking up speed and size...

Pictures are from the past week...of our Charlie Brown Christmas Tree (we got it off our Cliff in the backyard), Stuey mouse and Nora in her holiday dress that grandma gave her.
