I need to reflect that this Christmas was so much more fun and relaxed that Christmas' past. We spent most of the holiday as a simple family of 5....by choice. We had time to enjoy the holiday, no rushing, comfy clothes (lots of pj's) and just being together.
We also cut out making Christmas cookies. This I missed, but we just didn't have the time and I didn't want to squish it in (though we did try out hand at chocolate covered pretzels). I didn't do Christmas cards. I would like to get back to doing these things, but this year I just wasn't into it.
The kids and I did go visit my family after dinner Christmas night which was nice, though we missed Tim. Tim's allergy has put many things into perspective for us and no matter how things fall out in 2009, we will be making changes to our future holiday plans. More fun, more relaxing, more friends, and playing with our Christmas toys!
Things happen for a reason.....maybe it was so we could see that while family is important at the holidays, so is change. It may just be time to change the way we do things at the holidays.....maybe bowling with the family!
