I was talking with the hubster yesterday and realized I hadn’t planned food for Christmas. Food hasn’t been appealing to me as of late, so it just wasn’t high on my list. According to our weekly menu, we were supposed to have chicken nuggets in Christmas shapes tonight. We traded that out for leftovers, and viola, Christmas dinner will be the Christmas shaped nuggies! We’ll add in some good side dishes too of course! But, we all agreed this was a good plan and moved on.
I haven’t played as many Christmas songs or Christmas movies, or put up as many lights; because my head has been so sensitive and hurty. But, I’ve loved the movies watched, songs listened to, and lights that we do have up!
I haven’t done as much in store shopping at all. Again, the noise and lights weren’t good. But, I found some wonderful online deals and have my shopping pretty much done – one more thing to pick up tomorrow.
Tonight I am thankful that Christmas traditions are there to enjoy; but not to rule over a holiday! If the traditions don’t fit, put them on hold or kick them out; they are to be special, not oppressive with a tiny glimmer of special.
Tonight I am thankful that we will have a minimally decorated, chicken nuggie Christmas with all our kiddos home and a house filled with love! I couldn’t ask for anything better!! ❤❤
