I did buy, wrap and ship modest presents for the distant members of the family, and I did get my hubs a book for his birthday/Xmas present, but we have no tree, decorations, lights, groaning board of bad-for-you-food, and no houseful of stressed out people of all ages and sizes.
I am listening to the radio play Christmas music (although I tend to turn it down when it gets too treacly), and the Hubs is watching some god-awful French movie on Netflicks on his laptop.
So, here’s a thing to think about. Try this at home, boys and girls. Be the first on your block to NOT have a stressful, emotionally-exhausting, and expensive Christmas. Just think about what it means: Peace on Earth, Goodwill to Men (and Women AND Children), and try just that. Simple? Harder than it looks. Be good.
