Week twelve of Holiday Cheer...

Finalize all wrapping and put it away. Enjoy time with family. Watch Christmas movies. Laugh. Be still. Go look at Christmas lights. Have a game night. Picnic around the Christmas Tree. Caroling in the neighborhood. Decorate cookies.
Whatever you do.....do it with family. Take this week and do a little something for yourself. I love to walk. Grab a coffee and do a nature walk.

Check in with family on times and places to be. If you have family in nursing homes, go see them. Take them a slice of pie from your local deli or bakery.

The week before Christmas I like to engulf my home with wonderful smells. I mop floors with peppermint oil or cinnamon bark oil. I burn candles, I buy the plug ins that smell like "Christmas".

Go by your local liquor store and and stock up on wines and beers. I always grab little extra small gifts for "last minute surprises". Cute napkins are always fun.
