I need this reminder today.

Everywhere I look it’s Christmas. Not just Christmas, but CHRISTMAS!!!!!  It’s yelling at me.

My head is full of how many packages I have to wrap and how much laundry I need to do. What am I going to make for Christmas dinner? Why didn’t I get around to infusing that booze or making that vanilla extract? I sit here legitimately kicking myself that I did not take a family portrait with myself, husband, dog and cat all in Christmas sweaters. Why did we not get around to that? When does my family get into town again? Wait…when is the water bill due again? Sheesh. Complain, complain.

I am knee deep in crafting. Covered in felt scraps. I might burn some granola. I have too many ideas and too many lists.

So, here I am with you. Taking a breath. Reminding myself to put one foot in front of the other. One step at a time. I still have six days. Things will get done.

If all else fails, I can just lock myself in my room with a pan of brownies, or start spiking my morning hot cocoa with peppermint schnapps.

Just kidding.

Kind of.

Stepping out of my Grinch-Pants and putting on my Santa hat.

I think we need some holiday cheer that doesn’t involve shopping malls, grocery store lines or laundry. When does holiday cheer ever include laundry? It totally shouldn’t. All I want for Christmas is a laundry robot.

My friends Ampersand have been doing a 12 videos of christmas. A christmas carol a day count down.

Lets spike some cocoa, and take a listen. Their dog is dressed up like Santa. It’s a win.

Wishing you  a merry one day at a time. xo
