I see it's been a while since I posted. Not for lack of things to post but rather lack of time. I have been very busy creating, cooking, wrapping, planning, hiding, shopping, more wrapping, all the things that Christmas brings. So here I am finally finding time to sit down and take a long deep breath. Presents are opened, feast is finished, bows and boxes are put away, and Christmas has come and gone once more. I was feeling that holiday stress this year. You know the stress you feel when you just hope Christmas will go off without a hitch. You wonder if you should book a trip to the tropics and try to avoid the whole holiday thing. You try to have no expectations for fear you will be disappointed but you really want to have a magical Christmas. So I just kept thinking positive and praying for the right attitude and guess what....it worked! Christmas went off with out a hitch. It was a peaceful, magical day. There was lots of eating and chatting and playing and more eating to be had in Kerbyville. So with all that said, Merry Christmas!
