Two more
sleeps until Christmas. I could use another week!
It seems
we’ve been doing a lot of surviving lately. Putting one foot in front of the
other until the end of the school year finally arrived.
In the
week since (yes, just a week - though it feels like two), we have already made
a quick dash to visit the in-laws a few hours away. Since returning the air-conditioning at the
shops has been far more inviting than the sticky heat at home.
Gifts
are all purchased now, but certainly not wrapped.
We’ve been
madly cleaning and I’m happy to report that the rumpus room does still exist.
Which is just as well, my family is hoping to celebrate together in there.
Last
night the first of the decorations were hung. Umm, better late than never?
I’m
beginning to breathe again. I’ve decided that bedroom doors exist for a reason.
The joy of the season is not worth trading for a perfect abode.
So
here’s to happy memories made with family, quiet moments with meaning, and
plenty of peculiar treasures.
Happy
Christmas everyone! May peace and joy abound in your hearts as we celebrate our
Saviour’s birth!
PS: I’ll
be taking a blogging break for a week or two. Once the parties have quieted
down - the renovating begins! I’ll do my best to pop in somewhere between the restoring
and building. Please forgive if I have paint on my nose.
