So Thanksgiving is over and went well, nothing burned, nothing forgotten... All was well. Then came the craziness of Black Friday. I was one of those crazies out before dawn. Not that I was looking for any of the big ticket items but because there was a few things on sale I really wanted to get and because Jim needed to go to work on Friday so I needed to get back early. Either way OMG! What was I thinking! People are CRAZY. Thankfully I decided that I would stay cool calm collected and not get all wound out with everyone else. Walmart at 4:45 am on Black Friday... not for the weak. There was pushing and shoving and ugly looks and so on and so on, but I got was I went for and got out of there, with no battle wounds to see.
We are trying to stay little this Christmas, trying to focus Christ's birth instead of all the presents. I am really going to try to stick to that. I have pretty much decided that what we got this weekend is it aside from a few stocking stuffers. Now Jim just has to make me stick to that. : )
As a kid I never knew how much 'stuff' our parents did for Christmas. And I often forget until it is time to do it all over again, I guess that is why we do it every year. The decorating, and the cooking and the cleaning and the shopping and more decorating and christmas cards and wrapping gifts and more decorating and more cleaning and baking cookies and more baking and more baking and then cleaning up the baking. LOL It is making me tired to think or type all that.
Oh, and I have to say that I would make Bev so happy. We let the girls put the decorations on the tree and I haven't moved any of them!!! We may have 3 ornaments on one branch but the girls are so proud of their work that I am not going to rearrange them. I am working on letting go of the idea that everything has to be perfect, if the girls are happy and proud of their own work then so am I!!!
