For some strange reason my family and I decided to move into a new house the second weekend of December. December is crazy enough with the parties, shopping, baking, wrapping, decorating, etc... Adding packing and unpacking to the list was a bit overwhelming, but it has given me the opportunity to put a lot in perspective. Because my life has been so crazy, this December all I want is time! I would not be standing in a somewhat organized kitchen right now with a stack of finished Christmas cards if it were not for the help of a few of my close friends, a wonderful babysitter and my amazing parents. During such a busy time of year, they have all given me their TIME and helped to pack, unpack and babysit my two small children. It has meant the world to me.
My house is still a bit of a disaster, but I really don't care. I have 5 days until Christmas to spend quality time with my children baking cookies, looking at Christmas lights and watching Christmas movies on the couch while gazing at the tree. I can't wait to spend time with close friends who are in town and visit with my 90 year old grandmother.
So, for those of you who have not yet found that "perfect gift" for someone, stop looking and think about what you can DO for that person instead. Material items can sometimes be overrated:)
Happy Holidays!
