So it’s time to prepare for a New Year and though I enjoyed being with family and friends over the holidays, I am ready to embark on the New Year and be done with the entire holiday hubbub. Much money was spent to ensure that no one was forgotten on my ever growing list of people to remember this time of year. (Anyone reading if I missed you, I am sorry, I am sending you my happy holiday cheer thoughts as I type) In addition, to the gifts, the cards that were sent and the donations for various causes, I am happy to say that this chick is done for the year! No more shopping, just relaxing….
My living room is overrun with Thomas the Train toys and items from the movie Cars 2. I feel very blessed this year with my family and friends love and support. Though I lost someone very special from my family this year, she still lives in my heart and will not be forgotten. It’s always hard to lose a loved one this time of year. However, as I look around and remind myself that this madness of toys etc is a reminder of my family and what we have to be thankful for and fills my heart with joy.
Hubby and I don’t spend a lot on each other at the holidays, because we are firm believers that this is the time of year to do for others and make Christmas fun for our little boy. However, he did spoil me with the grand daddy of Keurig’s this year (he gave it to me early), right after my grandmother had passed away (as I was pretty down and out). And can I tell you that I LOVE this coffee maker!! It has made the month of December easier on my life in general. Sad what one appliance can accomplish. I love that no matter how little time I have in the morning, I still always have time to make coffee now. That makes this mama very happy!! (As well as less trips to Starbucks in the morning…easier on the pocket book too)
So what was your favorite thing you received or someone did for you for Christmas that warmed your heart or coffee mug?
