So hoping that all of you who are getting the terrible weather this weekend are staying safe and for those that celebrate Christmas, I hope you can get to where you need to be to spend time with those you love. We have just enough snow on the ground to give the feel of a white Christmas but the roads should be good and we're looking forward to being with our families.
Here's What I'm:
Listening To: Neal & Leandra's "Angels & Fools" - lovely Christmas music. Very upset that my other Neal & Leandra Christmas CD seems to have vanished. Must scour CD collection!
Watching: I do believe I have now watched all but a couple of versions of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol." Thanks, TCM! Since I own the George C. Scott version, I'll be watching that one today.
Reading: Finishing up Dames & Daughters of Colonial Days this week for a challenge then I'll start The Girl Who Played With Fire, also for a challenge.
Planning: On spending the next couple of days getting things wrapped up then I 'm looking forward to the next couple of weeks with minimal days of work and lots of time to enjoy family and relax.
Grateful for: Traditions - with flexibility. As much as we all look forward to the things that we do every year, I so appreciate my parents' understanding that this year things will just have to be a bit different since two of my kids have to cut short Christmas Eve to work.
Loving: The Big Guy and I drove around the other night to look at Christmas lights. So many pretty displays...and a two-story tall inflatable Santa!
Feeling: More relaxed than I have in years heading into this time of year.
Thinking: Of making homemade cat treats. Have I lost my mind or am I really turning into one of those crazy cat ladies?!
Looking forward to: Family time!
Wishing all of you who celebrate it, a very merry Christmas!
Cat treats?? LOL.
ReplyDeleteI am loving all the Christmas lights this year. SO many in the neighborhood have put them up this year. I think the economy is doing better and that people are happier than they've ever been. I know people still struggle with the holidays in general but I am feeling pretty good this year. Tired, but good.
I just finished cookie baking. Might have some eggnog now.
Traditions with flexibility. Definitely our approach this year. Everything feels different. But in a good sort of way.
ReplyDeleteGlad you've got some time off to relax, Lisa. A very happy Christmas to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great way to spend the holidays! Those blankets sound cozy - I'm planning to make a few too at my end. Happy Holidays!
