What I'm Reading This Week #34
Hello you sassy beast! Ready for another flip flappin' fantastic weekend? Yes indeedy, Ally Sheedy. It's been a week of working ahead for me as I try to work on ideas for holiday posts. I know, no one is ready for Christmas but spit balling stuff is actually getting me excited for the season. I like to try to give myself the month of December off from writing new posts (except updating weekly happenings) so all I have to do is respond if needed. It lets me take a little mental break during the holidays to try to enjoy what I can then hop back into the new year hopefully rested and ready to roll. We did book our 30th anniversary trip, which is the same one we had to cancel this year and of course got travel insurance. It's just nice to have something to hopefully look forward to and it makes you go "where the heck did 4 1/2 years go?" because it seems like just yesterday we were celebrating our 25th. Do people even celebrate their 30t...
Merry Christmas friend! We're almost ready for dinner here, can't wait :D
ReplyDeleteTonight is my favourite night of the year. Merry Christmas to you. xox
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and the Mr.! I hope your evening is as relaxing as it sounds.
ReplyDeleteToday I will go to a Christmas Eve lunch (full turkey dinner spread) at my Dad's place and celebrate with he, my step mother, and her family. This evening I will go to my boyfriend's Aunt's house for dinner (another full turkey dinner spread) to celebrate with his father's extended family, and then back home to chill and wrap any last minute presents. I expect that we will be curled up on the sofa, a wood fire going in the fireplace insert, a glass of wine in my hand, watching the lights on the Christmas tree, and just relaxing before going to bed.
We go to mom's today for the family fest with the pups in tow (they love it there). Then we'll come home and sit around the tree as I read Twas The Night Before Christmas out of an old cloth book. Then it's off with the lights, except for the tree and I'll stay up awhile with that on my own just to relax and ponder. I'll leave the tree on overnight and get up around 5am tomorrow morning to enjoy some quiet time with God and my cocoa with marshmallows. Then the hubs and the pooches will get up and we'll begin our day. We've never had Christmas at home (it's always been flipped around) but we decided this year we'd all be more relaxed if we could enjoy the day at our own homes for those of us who have to work the next day (I do, the hubs does not). So I'm looking forward to today and tomorrow very much!
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas Eve! I'm not sure what tonight will bring, but it'll be nice whatever it is. I'm hoping for a viewing of Christmas Story since I haven't watched it yet this year, but we'll see. My folks are here so whatever happens will be great.
ReplyDeleteHappy day and happy tomorrow!
This day is my favorite too. It's always been magical for me. I think about my future and pray that I never have to spend this specialist of all holidays alone. So I plan to enjoy the hell out if Christmas Eve this year.
ReplyDeleteStill at work right now, shhhh. Then my brothers for family and gifts, eeee. Then home for carols and present at midnight! Then sleep and do it all over again with the other family tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI will be in a heap come tomorrow night too. I so love Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you Anele and the Mr. May God bless you richly.
