It’s interesting how we Canadians are almost obsessed with the weather and how it affects our activities, attitudes and even our traditions. Many of us have grown up with white, snowy Christmases and we just don’t feel like its Christmas unless it snows. Fortunately, that’s not a problem for us. We had snow again this past week but it only stayed around for 2 days and we will enjoy Christmas no matter what the weather does.
We’re having a simplified Christmas this year and it is very relaxing and stress free. We are keeping the traditions that are important to us—sending out Christmas cards and messages to friends and family, putting up some decorations and lights, picking fresh greenery, wearing Christmas earrings (for me, not Stuart) and having an eggnog while listening to our favourite Christmas carols. We’ve simplified our gift giving as well so there will be no need for anyone to re-gift any silly items or knickknacks from us.
We have a turkey dinner planned although Stuart is reluctant to purchase a turkey. He says there will be some really good deals in the last few shopping days before Christmas. I hope he’s right or we’ll be having StoveTop stuffing and cranberry sauce that day!
So Christmas is a great time to relax, indulge yourself with some pleasures, rest from work and reflect on all the blessings in your life.
We wish you a merry and peaceful Christmas.
