How many of you feel like you need a week or more to recover from all the Holiday hoopla? I love Christmas and Thanksgiving but, it can really wear a person out. I love decorating but it is a major chore to take everything down. It makes me sad too. When we had an artificial tree I would leave it up till mid January. I guess that is why we started getting real trees again. My hubby hated when I would leave the tree up that long. I saw on Facebook the other day a picture of a tree decorated and wrapped in cellophane and I thought that would be an awesome way to store an artificial tree if you had the room.
We had a fabulous Christmas visiting with family. Very thankful and blessed everyone is in good health. My mom gave me the funniest calendar. (See the cover below). I think this will be my mantra for the kids and myself for 2016. Why be normal and boring, be unique and stir things up a bit. I have always encouraged them not to follow the crowd. I think I may have to stress this even more this year. One quote from the calendar rings so true, "God doesn't want an orchestra of identical instruments all playing the same tune." I tell my boys all the time that God made them unique and they should strive to keep and cultivate that uniqueness.
I gave up on resolutions a long time ago. In my old age I decided to be the best me I can be and be better than I was the day before. What is your goal for 2016? I would love to hear from you.
I say good bye to 2015 and any mistakes I made and hello to 2016, a fresh start.
