Christmas Wish 2016

 Our Christmas Tree for 2016🎁🎀🎄
 
I have to say working from home has been SO good for me, I'm nowhere as exhausted as I was in the past. Last weekend I did all my Christmas shopping except for one item, then I had some company drop over last Saturday and they were sweet and offered to wrap all my gifts (this is my least favorite activity) ... for the first time in a very long time I am really looking forward to Christmas. I have tried to get into the spirit of it for the last couple of years but deep down it wasn't there... basically, I faked it until I made it. I could never fake it with myself, though, I just went through the motions.

I am excited that I will be having a few friends over for Christmas too, it has been a while since I hosted a holiday dinner. Tonight I will be watching all my favorite holiday movies while baking and cooking... It was a tradition for years when I was raising Andrea, now that I am working from home, I have the time to do the things I love for Christmas... I am happy that I am feeling the spirit of the season and that I am excited to celebrate the holidays.
This is just a short post to wish everyone one of you a happy holiday and a very Merry Christmas. Remember that this season is not always easy or happy for everyone, I hope that we can try to include those people who might be alone or in need of some love and kindness. This is my mission for next year and in the future, as love and relationships are what is the most important now and throughout the year.

  1. Launna, how nice of your guests to offer to wrap your Christmas gifts for you! And I am so glad that working from home is going well for you. I hope that you have a wonderful Christmas, dear lady. I have no family but one of my friends has invited me over for Christmas dinner tomorrow evening and I am looking forward to that. Take care of yourself, and it is an honour and a blessing to have you as a blogging friend. Hugs and love to you. :)

  5. Happy Christmas Launna! It's great to hear you're feeling genuinely positive about Christmas this year, for the first time in ages. Having friends over sounds like a really fun way to spend the day. The Christmas tree looks fabulous! You made a very important point, Christmas isn't a happy occasion for everyone and can be a lonely time of year. Being helpful to others and including them is a brilliant idea!

    Lots of love Saba xx

  10. I'm glad you had such a nice holiday.
    I haven't felt that so-called Christmas spirit in years....I go through the motions, even though my holiday was nice this year. It is more about Daya and her experience.

    Enjoy the last week of the year. Things will just get better from now on. xoxo
