A Little More . . . for Christmas
Not one more gift to buy, or one more dish to bake, one more party to plan. The season to be overwhelmed. Reading Bonita’s Whatever Happened to Christmas reminded me of a quote I discovered a couple years back. I need to put it on a note card on my fridge or some place at the beginning of the season as a reminder. Christmas should be an attitude, a state of mind, not a never ending to do list.
I’m very thankful to my family and friends, online and off. For the support, encouragement, inspiration, things I’ve learned from each of you. Merry Christmas!
“What a glorious and wonderful season of year this is.
Our hearts change.
Our attitudes change.
Our way of thinking changes.
There is a little more forgiveness in us.
A little more of kindness.
A little more of love.
A little more of understanding at the Christmas season of the year.”

I agree with your statement that Christmas should be a state of mind, not a never ending to do list. It so takes the pressure off and allows the true spirit of Christmas a real chance of being felt. Merry Christmas.

Thanks Leslie!
That is my grandson on his first birthday, not little Leslie, but I’m sure you’ll be seeing more of her.

Karen. thanks, less pressure is always a good thing.
I think many of us become overwhelmed because there is so much we can do that is good, more than hours in a day and think we have to do it all.
May we all continue that attitude into the new year.
