It's Christmas until January 6th! I'm traditional that way... love to see everyone all throughout the season! The high point has to be Christmas dinner, graciously prepared by my sister, Krista and her extended family. The best gift of all - spending time with people we love! The excitement was doubled this year when two tiny ones showed up - Rebecca and Hayley. They say Christmas is for kids and surely it is; but I have to say, adults have a pretty good time too. We started a few new traditions and let go of some old ones. Pudding will henceforth be cooked on Tipp's Eve instead of Christmas Eve so we can be free to visit relatives and friends on the 24th.
When I get back to school, my students will share their excitement as well. My rule - tell me about something special that you did over the holidays... tobogganing, visiting Nana's house, making cookies with Auntie, going to church or to the cabin. I like to put the emphasis on how we spent our time not how we spent our money. It may be intangile, but time is the most precious thing we have, the best gift we can give and the greatest treasure to receive.
I'm pondering the New Year and thinking that 2013 will be an eventful one with lots of possibilities on the horizon. Don't know if I will make any resolutions, but I know there will be opportunities for change and growth. I will just try my best to be my best. Yeah, that should work!
Happy New Year to All! Be kind to each other!
