Tinsel in a Tangle

It’s the most wonderful time of the year … tis also the time where you can find yourself frazzle dazzle! There’s regular ongoing life and then you pile on ALL the holiday things ...

Here are some things that may help prevent you from getting your tinsel in a tangle ...

REMEMBER THE REASON FOR THE SEASON

I say ‘remember’ because we forget. The arrival of our Savior Jesus Christ is the reason we celebrate.

While I can’t create a post that brings peace, Jesus can!

DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF

The whole purpose of gathering and gifting is to love one another in gratitude. Your presence is the most important present.

Enjoying the time is what matters not all the 'things'. 

Hug, smile and have fun!

PRIORITIZE

We can make a lot of Christmas magic happen, but not ALL! Make a list, and select what's most important when it comes to gifting & socializing.

Amongst the hustle and bustle, leave room for quality time with your dearest!

SOFT TRADITIONS

I am having to loosen the reigns on traditions. It means a lot to me to have things 'like we always do' but in reality some years things don't happen the same. Ryan often works on Christmas, schedules don't align, and there's never enough time.

Missing things isn't bad, it leaves room for the unexpected blessings.

Who cares if things aren’t just so (my Type A control freak self does), but in the grand scheme of things what we remember is the people and the memories. Don't let the details spoil your attitude. Just throw your hands up and go with it. I know, easier said than done but focus on your heart not the display.

Dress Beautifully Enjoying Christmas
