What?  I know Christmas is over, but I have until January 1st to keep it around.  That’s my rule anyway.  By January 1st I want all the Christmas decor back in it’s box for storage.  It just seems strange to start a new, fresh year with a bunch of last year Christmas clutter!

We had a very (much needed) mellow holiday this year.   The last two months have been especially busy and it was nice to only have one thing on the ‘to do’ list: Celebrate Christmas.  We lit a fire on both the Eve and the Day.  Ate cookies.  Put the dogs in santa suits.  Chatted with family. Ate some more cookies.  Ate way too much stuffing and gravy.  Ate even more cokies.  And just hung out doing the Christmas thing.

I tried to make it a whole weekend of relaxing, but by 4:00 yesterday I couldn’t stand it anymore and I had to get busy.  I did Pilates, laundry, errands, whatever.  Anything to get me moving!
