For most of us the holidays are a time for reflection, great memories and way too much food. This holiday season has been wonderful. I was able to really enjoy my family and close friends. I also nearly cut off my finger (OH YES... I will post a separate blog entry on that), made some awesome Christmas cookies and bought gifts from Amazon.com that were just too good to pass up.
I also realized this year that gifts are not special because of the amount spent, but because of the people that give them to you. The person that thought enough about you, to buy you something that you wouldn't have gotten for yourself. Of course let's also be honest and say, we all probably recieved something less than stellar, but smiled graciously and returned it! LOL This happens, but hey its all a part of the crazy holiday season.
I will also admit that amongst Christmas songs and FA LA LAs I said a curse word or two because someone cut me off on the road, or stole my spot in line at Walmart.. :-)
For New Year's we are staying home and enjoying either pizza, chicken or some other reasonably priced meal that will include champagne, and other goodies.
A HAPPY, HEALTHY PROSPEROUS 2009 TO EVERYONE!
