Yes, that's right. The house is decorated, it's the weekend and everything is under control. If you have some unscheduled moments don't you owe it to yourself to sit down with a nice mug of cocoa (topped with whipped cream of course), and enjoy the moment? What good is a lighted tree, beautifully wrapped gifts, and all the other joys of the season if you are overextended? Have one of those cookies you baked. I know, they're supposed to go in a gift basket, nobody will miss the one(s) you eat. Promise.
This year we find ourselves with a lot of free time. Less programs to go to, fewer parties, and the girls are spending more time with husband/boyfriend. Today we went for coffee, did our grocery shopping before anyone else was at the store, and Earl even took some time to judge the teen cookie baking contest at church. Hey, it's a tough gig but somebody's got to do it ;>)
Now we're home and while he bakes his last dessert of the month (I'll share what his grand finale is tomorrow) I'm grabbing some down time. When he is done with the kitchen I'll make some biscotti. While I wait for the kitchen, let me just point out the awesome new slippers I got at Target a few weeks ago. Leopard print...and sequined all over so my feet sparkle when I walk. I know, hate me.
It's been a good season, and there's still a couple weeks of it left.
Enjoy as much of it staring at the lights, watching Christmas movies, and doing whatever else you find fun about Christmas. It's all about savoring the moment.
Enjoy your Saturday:>)
Sounds like my kind of day. If you're making the biscotti's in your header, share the recipe please. I die every time I see them!
ReplyDeleteMy hubs loves biscotti...love the slippers too♥ Thanks for stopping by adding you to my blog list!
ReplyDeleteLovely slippers Kathy!
ReplyDeleteI just love this post. It echoes so much of how I feel. :0) I have truly loved the season and am savoring every moment. :0)
ReplyDeleteYou're looking very relaxed in your beautiful living room. Good suggestions all. Must say that I am feeling more relaxed having a few more things accomplished. I hope to be in your "state" in a day or two.
ReplyDeleteAnimal print is always in style :) I'm just finishing off the last of my decorating and then I'm going to relax for the next couple of weeks since my daughter's last class is Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteLove your new slippers! And the thought of relaxing is nice. I've been taking tiny moments to relax here and there. The tree just went up yesterday and there is some simple decorating to do. In between, I sit down, catch my breath and relax a bit. Then, I go again!

I am sitting in my chair by the fire relaxing and catching up on blogs. The tree is lit and it is rainy and cold outside. It is 11AM and I am still in my pajamas. Love your slippers!
ReplyDeleteLovely post. I am enjoying a weekend of down time and christmassing and it feels amazing : )
ReplyDeleteYes indeed, we all need to enjoy the holidays a little more and stress a little less. Your slippers are adorable. Mimi
ReplyDeleteIt sounds so perfect, cozy, and festive! I love it. <3
