OK...I started out writing this negative post about all of this X-mas crap and how I am counting the days until it is done. Then I deleted it. Even though I have a cold and feel like shit, it is cold and snowing out and I have to travel with a bunch of kids, I am going to try to come up with some positive things about this time of year.
-I get to see family members I haven't seen in a long time (this can also be a negative thing)
-Homemade apple cider rocks
-My kids have so much fun opening presents
-I get almost two weeks off work!!
-I am going to attempt some vegan gingerbread cookies the kids will love to help make
-Todd and I will exchange gifts
-The kids love to watch Christmas shows on TV- and I admit that I love "A Charlie Brown Christmas."
-Grace is in love with her new boots and fascinated with walking in the snow with them on
See? If you try really hard, you can see the bright side of this chaotic, consumerist, greedy, stressful, expensive, wasteful, exhausting holiday season.
