Apparently it is a holiday we have all agreed to but thankfully it has gotten very simple for us. I do get a sort of free-floating anxiety every year though which is probably left over from my early days of feeling like I had to rush around, procure presents for everyone and decorate beautifully for the season. I see so many still in that stressful, operative mode. We aren't religious but I love going to Christmas Eve services with pipe organs, candles and choirs. I also love that for the first time in my adult life I am experiencing getting all bundled up to walk in freezing weather and seeing the beautiful mountains covered in snow.
Love that Bingo card!
My holidays are pretty stressless now. I don't travel, so Christmas for me consists of a couple of presents, some fruitcake and eggnog, a few phone calls, and one frazzling trip to the post office. I shop on line. This is a big, big change from hectic holidays of old, and a welcome one.
