THAT TIME OF YEAR!

I can hardly believe its 

Christmas time

already.

This year has flown by.

Last year I got myself into a Christmas Day funk,

and I'm determined that is not happening again.

No expectations are the best expectations.

I'm keeping in mind, it's a season, not just a day.

Our decorations are minimal

but festive enough.

Last year my favorite gift was one I purchased

with a Amazon gift card from Rick and Terry,

an essential oil diffuser.

Just love it...I kept the house smelling wonderful

and hopefully all of us healthier.

Christmas time is no different.

The family has decided to forgo gifts this year

but I am sending just a few cards 

and displaying the ones we receive close by,

 Mom looks at them several times a day

and each time it's new.

Started playing Christmas music on Pandora today,

love that.

There is no shortage of sweets in the house.

Sue was here this weekend and brought us

holiday check mix.

I have made "no bake" chocolate oatmeal cookies...

twice.

I'm not making myself crazy about a 

Christmas dinner,

Lord knows a heavy, rich meal

is the last thing the three of us need.

Last year is proof of that.

I will put something in the crock pot and

that will be that.

When Christmas Day rolls around,

my only plan is to see what's streaming

on Netflix and Amazon Prime.

 Merry Christmas

and 

Happy Holidays

EVERYONE
