ready for the holidays? i think we have most of our christmas shopping finished already, of course there are probably a couple gifts that we need to get later, last minute stocking stuffers, etc. all the ingredients for thanksgiving dinner have been purchased and are thawing, anxiously awaiting their purpose for our family dinner. i need to set up babysitting for pbs for a few nights in december when js and i have functions that do not include kids. our church choirs and bell choirs are gearing up for the season with extra practices, more music and performances.
am i mentally, emotionally ready for the holidays? i'm getting there. i'm more ready, excited for the grandparents' visit this week. i'm still trying to get ready to stay home this year for christmas. we've decided to stay home so we can save money to buy a house. i think we've gone somewhere for almost every christmas since we've been married, except for when i was pregnant with pbs of course. i was too close, about three weeks, to delivering to go too far from home.
pbs is still too young to realize what is going on. we'll skype with the family and see them that way. i know it's not the same, but at least he still gets to see, talk and interact with his grandparents, aunts and uncles.
maybe the hardest part for me is preparing my heart for the season. i think i need to work more on that, rather than getting caught up in the hustle and bustle that is always what seems to get most of my focus. so i ask again, are you ready for the holidays?
