Although it is the perception that it is a season of hustle and bustle, I feel quite the opposite. While not always possible, I try my best to get shopping, decorating, and wrapping done as early as possible. I do this for many reasons, the top reason being.... have the opportunity to take time to enjoy the reasons for the season.
Of course the most important reason is the celebration of the birth of Christ....aka at our house this time of year is "Jesus Birthday", in Tessa and Ella terms. We also try to take it easy, and enjoy the calmness of the tree, Christmas books, and the blessing of a warm and cozy home.
Last weekend we went to Grandma Sherry's house for some Christmas joy in the kitchen. Although, the girls "Tasted" -Ella as much as they baked, it was special girl time! We baked and sprinkled some cookies, then Tessa and Grandma made a gingerbread house. There might have been a roof that caved in, but with some repairs, it was good as new. We had a wonderful evening taking it easy and baking some goodies! Thank you Grandma!
