The holidays

Well Halloween is over. That means the countdown is on for the holidays....Thanksgiving and Christmas. Every year after Halloween it seems to go so fast and boom its Christmas Eve. This year I have planned on being organized. I want to watch my momma make her mom's Dressing on Thanksgiving and listen to my dad talk to Madison about the pilgrims and watch Miller run through the leaves and giggle chasing a football my brother has thrown for him. This year I want to enjoy watching Madison and her friends decorate Christmas cookies and listen to them giggle over things at school. I want to hear Miller squeal with delight as we walk through the mall and he sees Santa from a distance. I want to take the time to smile and go to dinner with my friends and truly enjoy it. I want to smell the gingerbread cookies baking at my Mother in laws house while me and my sister in law make peanut butter fudge. I want to hear my kids laugh this holiday season have camp outs in the family room by the fireplace, decorate cards for the mailman and make gifts in a jar for our neighbors.
This holiday season I want to enjoy it with my family and friends. I don't want to be rushed or tired or irritated. I choose not too. I do however choose to be relaxed and enjoy this wonderful life we have. So please sit back and start getting menus planned out now, Christmas cards started stamped and finished......crafts started......so that when it's time to rest and enjoy that moment you will have it. Life is so short.....enjoy it right now!
