This morning when I woke up, I realized I didn't have a thing to worry about. Nothing on my "list." It was pure heaven.
The shopping is mostly done - with only one gift left to buy and one left to mail. The house is decorated. Our guests for our annual Pierson family/December ski weekend have come and gone. (This year, we had a lovely weekend in Steamboat Springs, thanks for asking.)
No stress. Ahhh, my Christmas sigh. I am happy and feel very contented.
I am working hard on contented. Remember? WWDRD?
I am working even harder on de-stressing.
I can't lie, if I let myself, I start obsessing about my dated decorations and in a matter of seconds, I am not happy. Does that ever happen to you? Why is that?
I think it has to do with something President Dieter F. Uchtdorf said in his beautiful talk this month.
So, with that in mind. I am enjoying this Christmas more than ever; despite the dated decorations
or maybe in spite of them.

Here is some of Paige's recent Christmas piano recital . . the footage we got before the camera battery died. Ugh.

After today I am feeling much better...I was able to check a bunch of stuff off my list this weekend...including b-day festivities for #1.
I'm still waiting for my afternoon of "nothing to do" though. Glad you got yours!! ;-)

Happy & Contented is just how Christmas should be.

I enjoyed your Tannenbaum number. It had some great chords. Keep it up! Love you,

I have just a few more things to do and then I can "sigh", too!
