One week until Christmas!

Packages mailed, cards written, cookies baked, house decorated, presents under the tree! Let the good times roll! Party up, but stress down for your health... Do things different this year, maybe don't do so much, listen to your own Christmas music, find your own yule log, invent a new family tradition this year, eat your family's or ancestor's ethnic food, get tips or recipes from your grandma, or great grandma. Find a quiet, sacred place for yourself to relax and go there often this season! Spend quality time with loved ones, maybe interview an older relative, make a memory book, or jar full of individual memories to give to a special someone! Don't worry- Christmas is always different, and always great!

BRRRR!

It is COLD here today! Blowing, snowing and freezing~ I could hardly get my car up the driveway, so much ice. This is the time we want to go shopping and get ready for Christmas, well~ the cold freezes that mood, all I want to do is go home and stay there...
On the warm side, there is alot of gratitude going around right now, which warms our hearts, and gives us hearts of gold, then there is alot of giving going around too! It IS the Christmas Spirit, and Christmas season~ NOW!
