Isn't that refreshing? I got a tree today and then put one strand of lights around the front door and called it done. Decorating the tree can be a mother daughter thing one night this week. That and a few more gifts and maybe a baking thank you gifts for coaches and neighbors day and call it celebrated! I adore that so many of you spend the holidays the way you want!

Yay me!! This year my husband and I are going to Death Valley for 6 days (including Christmas day) for hiking and resting and just being in the vast, vast quiet of the desert and it just feels so luxurious and incredibly self nurturing. Thanks again for an entertaining and insightful post! Oh my goodness, Jen, that post really cheered me up cause I’m no longer doing any of those things. Yay me!!

And have long been working on doing what I want to do. Still causes minor anxiety but I figure some deep breathing, red wine, and knowing I'm doing the right thing will help. Thanks.
