Well we did it!!! We made it thru Christmas dinner with no muss or fuss. Just a relaxing meal with family and no harsh words. The kitchen was even spotless by the time we were ready for bed. That to me is a huge success. I hope yours went as well as ours.
Now we are in these weird days where we are not aware of what day of the week it is or what time of day. We walk around in a holiday coma and hope we make it thru to January 6 when all things go back to normal. When regular workdays and only three meals a day become the norm again. And wine becomes a glass with dinner, not something we start on at noon...or before.
There is nothing wrong with celebrating the holidays however we want. Some times it does us all good to let our hair down and let loose a little. In fact, it might do some of us a world of good. But the little intermission of life must be treated as such...a little break and not a new lifestyle.
Now as we make our way towards the new year we are reminded just how much mess our kids make and the amount they eat! And while they are nearly impossible to wake up for school they are up way too early during the break. With cries of " Mom can you drive me to" and "I'm bored can we" I'm ready for them to go back to school even if they aren't.
It's the happiest time of the year for many of us. And the longest. I hope your holiday season, whatever you may celebrate, was a success. Not perfect but a time when memories were made.
Now off you go...eat a vegetable.
