Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

Still In Christmas Mode

December 29, 2015

And we will be until January 6. Yes, we are those crazy traditional people who keep the 12 Days of Christmas. There is something really special about keeping Advent the time of preparation and slowly adding all the other things in as we approach the great feast day itself. We decided to get our tree on the fourth Sunday of Advent this year and I think that was a good call. It was a week before Christmas so the excitement was grand and I was ready to start preparing more intensely by then.

Christmas Morning was lovely. The last two years the gifts have been very intimate to my thinking. A real true family Christmas that only we could share in.

Now we’re just relaxing and enjoying the warm glow of the Christmas season. Eating treats, playing and talking together, and napping on a cold wintry afternoon that wasn’t good for much else. Soon enough the two out of town boys will pack up and head to their own homes. School will begin again and the whirl of ordinary time – spiritually and secularly – will begin again after Epiphany.

So I will enjoy these days for the coziness and warmth they bring while we have them. Time goes by fast enough – we need to enjoy the time we have now and not worry about what’s going to happen (for we don’t really know anyway do we) and not dwell on mistakes of the past which can make us sad and hopeless. No, let’s dwell in the present as much as we can and enjoy the season of Christmas.
