It's Over, At Last

I'm glad Christmas is finally over, although it was definitely almost stress-free. We just kept it simple and had a nice, quiet day. I liked my presents and I hope the kids liked theirs. They seemed to. In years gone by, I have looked over my purchases in the morning on Christmas Eve and thought, "I need to get everyone one more thing." Which, meant that I went to the mall or Walmart on the afternoon on Christmas Eve, with all the other guilt-ridden parents who decided they had not been generous enough. I finally got over that feeling, and things have been much better since then.

We'll take down the decorations in a day or so, and everything will return to normal - that is to say, boring.

I am going to take the rest of this week off, but I'll be reading and commenting on your blogs. So, don't talk about me while I'm gone.

See you next week.

Happy New Year to you all!
