It has been a busy many days (weeks?) as we lead up to Christmas. Not in a bad busy way – while I tend to overstretch myself a bit during the holidays, I really do believe in creating Christmas magic only because I love it, not at the expense of my health and happiness.
But as with every year, the final work deadlines, school events and commitments and family time ramps up all at the same time. These are all blessings and lovely reasons to be busy, but I find myself barely keeping my eyes open at night after unplugging the Christmas lights to call it a day.
I have so many posts swirling in my mind – I want to set some intentions for 2019, recap this year a bit, reflect on changes and wins, and more. But in the meantime, I wanted to just share a bit about the joyous reasons I haven’t been online as much lately!
We’ve been travelling (our annual Christmas trip to Chateau Montebello is always a fave!)
Gingy, our Elf, has returned and he’s been busy!
There’s been gingerbread house making (and other #25daysofchristmas advent activities)
We’ve had cousins over for cookie decorating and hot chocolate
We’ve gone to Cumberland’s Vintage Village of Lights as we do every year with family (and loved it!)
I’ve been baking (lots of baking)
And that’s not including all of the school events, family dinners, advent activities, and work functions that have been happening all month!
But as you can see, we’re having some fun!!
You can follow more of our adventures and Christmas fun on Instagram.
I hope December has been kind to you as well!
You forgot to mention you have been watching all the Hallmark movies and corrupting other friends and followers into becoming addicted to the Hallmark channel. LOL. Love Montebello too.
