Why it Pays Not to Celebrate Christmas
I've heard a lot of people say that Christmas really snuck up on them this year. I don't know if this is a competition, or if there is a prize (if there is, please let it be this), but I think it might have snuck up on me the most. Since I've stopped celebrating Christmas I just don't even think about it. I was in my own little world all month and then today I woke up and all the grocery stores were closed (crap). It's Christmas! For my Christmas-loving readers, I wish you a merry one. For anyone else who doesn't celebrate Christmas . . .

Ha! Happy Vacation Day!
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteHi, Tanya.
ReplyDeleteI always love stopping by "your place" on Christmas, since I can be sure you will be free of the clutter of seasonal doodads overloading so many other sites. I know these things delight many others, so bless their hearts... but the older I get, the more I treasure simplicity. We, too, are moving out of a townhouse this year and hope to be into a very small house with a large garden in the spring. There is absolutely no room for doodads! Even though for me the Christmas holiday does have religious significance, I prefer not to exchange gifts. We like to have a "second Thanksgiving" - gather a few friends, relish a slow meal and a good bottle of wine, and focus on the intangible things that make our lives most rewarding. I hope the coming year brings you and your family much joy. You've certainly earned it!
Happy second thanksgiving!! Your way of celebrating sounds lovely - peaceful and meaningful.
DeleteIt seems the seasonal doodads were in full force this year and I found myself steering away from shops and the internet. I didn't even open my home decor magazines for Nov and Dec, knowing exactly what they held in store. So happy January is in sight!
