Oh man! Even I was looking at the canned cranberries and thinking 'Oh, we should have those out, even if no one eats them....'
Which is funny because I've been thinking of having an 'anti-Christmas'. I'm tired of it being about gifts, we don't need anything {except to pay bills}. I have been thinking instead of encouraging the spirit of Christmas, rather than the spirit of giving gifts.
I want to spend time with family and friends. Making cookies, doing crafts, sharing time with people. We've been so busy, having said too many times 'Oh I wish we had time to spend with so and so, we haven't seen so and so in ages...etc.'
I have been thinking that we shall try and watch a movie every night, those who want to watch can {last year everyone was eager to watch together} and those who don't, no pressure.
I need to find my X-mas cd {complete with a snowy picture of Yosemite etched on to it}.
I think I need to do my best to bring the family together as everyone is so busy.
I LOVE lights. I even set them up inside of my house.
