December is definitely where it’s at, Christmas carols, decorating your tree, your house, your yard, holiday baking, elf on the shelf antics, letters to Santa, holiday parties, and let’s not forget all the shopping, shopping, shopping.. Seriously, OMG, breathe.. That’s good, in and out.. Now sit down and actually relax by that fire, for just a minute or two while the room stops spinning ;) If you are anything like me, you find that during the happiest season of the year, it is far too easy to get caught up in all the holiday merrymaking. This year I am actually making a point to say NO to the traditions that cause more stress than they are worth, and focus on JOY and why not, I will throw in a little peace for good measure too :)
How will I accomplish this?? First, I’m going to give the gift that keeps on giving.. A Little ME time. It’s the most overlooked gift that you could give. Time alone with just you, unplugged, UNDISTURBED. And the ONLY way it’s going to happen is if I mark it down on my calendar. (Sound the alarm!) Give it a try. Schedule a time at a coffee shop with your favorite podcast or playlist and a hot cup of joe. Or, a bath using products that don’t have ninja or kitty in the name, even just a few minutes walking around a mall NOT shopping would be a good start to giving yourself the gift of time this holiday season. I’m ALL OVER THIS :)
Secondly, I am just going to ENJOY.
All the moments. Even the not so perfect ones. I will enjoy the baking, gift-wrapping, cocoa making, Christmas song singing or whatever I find myself doing this holiday season. But I will be making each moment count by actually being present in those moments.. What’s that? Is it possible to turn off my ever planning, constantly working brain long enough to just ENJOY? Well, hell, just watch me. I vow this year to take it all in moment by moment and just enjoy. Perhaps you will give that one a go as well? Enjoy the cold, the cuddling and wherever you find yourself. Making moments count just as they happen will make your holiday brighter.
And this December, I will be giving out random acts of goodness via Little Dreamer :) As you may have noticed, my birthday sale is still in FULL effect. Yay!
