Let's approach Christmas
with an expectant hush,
rather than a last-minute rush.

For the record, if a quote ever says "anonymous" I usually skip right over it. But this one I couldn't pass up. Part of the reason why I love starting my Christmas celebration so early is so when it finally arrives, I can calmly enjoy it. Granted, this never actually happens. I have hopes of finishing cards and shopping by Thanksgiving, and they never get fulfilled.
So despite the fact that I will be in a slight rush to finish, I am challenging myself to truly take in this Advent season and fully prepare for Christmas. Wish me luck, and I do hope you join me in this effort!
This is EXACTLY what I've been thinking lately! To not worry about gifts and events and schedules and everything else, but to be present and enjoy life (especially the holidays).

ReplyDeleteThis is prefect! It's probably how we all enjoyed Christmas as kids without realizing how harried our parents were. It's nice to relax and enjoy it. And also part of the reason I started sending New Years Cards instead of Christmas:)
