I got us this little but shapely tree from the church/preschool on the corner last night and carried it home, passing a group of parents and toddlers caroling on our block. I get it, Brooklyn, you are adorable. My heart has grown appropriately larger.
I spent some time working on our Christmas cards then Chris came home and we had a traditional tree-decorating meal of Thai noodles. After a break: Christmas music and decorating Wee Piney.
I'm trying to strike a balance this year between doing too much and getting stressed out and doing nothing and being completely underwhelmed by the holidays. It's hard because my default is to shoot for the stars then get fed up and drop everything.
I hesitate to claim success before the big day itself but the things I am making time for are making me happy and I can't ask for more than that.
