Merry Christmas to all of you!
Today also marks the end of our Advent calendar. This year I typed up some random little ideas like: read a holiday poem, play a game together, bake something, watch a holiday movie, say something nice about someone (that was interesting dinnertime conversation), list five goals for the upcoming year, etc. Then, I filled the little pockets with leftover Halloween candy (brillant, if I do say so myself).
I'm always a little sad on Christmas Day because the end of the holiday season is sort of a letdown from the magic of the season. The Christmas music stops playing on the radio, people start taking down their decorations and lights, and there is no longer any reason...well, except that New Year's Eve is still part of the winter holidays, I suppose...to justify eating seventeen cookies as a healthy breakfast.
Have a wonderful day with your family, friends, and fruitcake.
