This year I did what I’ve said I would do for years! I finally sat down and planned out everything and now I feel so at ease with my gift giving, my activities with the kids…right down to what movies I plan to watch. It took about an hour and a half and about $20 bucks in supplies. My goal…for my family and me to truly feel the magic this year and not the stress!

Your challenge to get ready is definitely helping I feel, thank you!

[…] Cette semaine, on parle « sens de noël ». Pour nous, noël est une des occasions dans l’année de réunir nos familles – ma mère et mon beau-père ainsi que la mère, le frère et la belle-sœur de Ours. C’est aussi le seul moment de l’année ou je verrais peut être mes frères et leurs familles – si mon père fait un repas. Depuis quelques années, je célèbre aussi le solstice d’hiver – le retour du soleil – et cette année j’espère le faire avec un groupe d’amis. Ensuite, il y a mon anniversaire le 30/12 – et cette année une bénédiction de l’utérus le 28/12 – puis le nouvel an. […]
