Well we are midway into the first month of the year. How is everyone doing? Are you all floating or struggling to breathe already? I think I’m doing a little bit of both. It feels like I’m in a daze now that the holidays are over. So I’m trying to stay on track and do a little something each day, whether that be writing, cleaning, organizing, or just taking some time to actually read.

Today the incredible A.S. Fenichel asks us:
Two weeks into the New Year…tell me the good, the bad and the ugly. How were your holidays?
My holiday was pretty jam packed with family outings and gearing up for Christmas. We had a family gathering or outing almost every weekend leading up to Christmas. It was a tad crazy!
We opened up presents early with one set of relatives, then went back on Christmas Eve and then went to the other set of relatives house on Christmas Day. I still made my cranberry orange scones for Christmas Day which is now a tradition, one I look forward to every year.
The weather has been cool but nice, so we’ve been outside a lot for walks and skating with hot chocolate. I wish we had snow, but we don’t get any here, you’d have to drive three hours north. I miss the snow days in St. John’s and it looks like they had a white Christmas this year.
Some time was spent with friends, but not as much as I’d hoped. With Thanksgiving being the last week in November, Christmas really crept up and it seemed to be here one moment then gone the next. It almost didn’t feel like Christmas this year if that makes sense.
My husband and I have realized that we are getting old and can no longer wrap presents on floor, haha. Next year I will be bringing out the card table and wrapping presents while seated in a comfortable position, one that doesn’t make my legs and butt go numb and our backs ache.
Overall it was a nice holiday, even though we did a lot of driving. I enjoyed the time to play games and do puzzles and eat all the delicious holiday treats which are now finally finished!
Well that’s it for me, now continue on the hop to see what the talented A.S. Fenichel has to say about her holidays. Until next time!
