Simple Christmas

For me, that means:

  • Electing 1 day ONLY for commercial Christmas shopping
  • Planning my Christmas day menu in advance.
  • Cooking my meal (since I’m celebrating solo this year) on the Sunday before Christmas.
  • Electing 1 weekend for completing my hand-made gifts
  • Scheduling the remainder of my cleaning and organizing so I have ABSOLUTELY nothing to do but cooking on the weekend before Christmas
  • Starting and ending each day with some of my favourite Christmas music.
  • Saying “NO” to activities that serve to stretch me thin — including last minute requests for cheesecake and other baked goods. 

Christmas for me is the celebration of the birth of Christ.  This year, I’m committing to a restful approach to the season so I don’t neglect the reason for my celebration of it.

What about you?
