January 1st proved to be a productive day. I cleaned out closets, took down and put away all the Christmas decorations, I cooked a nice supper for the kids and I, and there was plenty of time to relax left over. I have to say, it's been my favourite day so far this year *snicker*
I have to admit that I was really sad as I put the Christmas stuff away. I feel like I didn't get to enjoy it long enough. I love sitting in the living room with just the lights of the tree glowing red while drinking a nice cup of tea or eggnog hot chocolate. I love the feeling that Christmas puts in my heart and I really do long to have that feeling all year through. I am very thankful and blessed to have had such a beautiful holiday season with my kiddies. I'm refusing to allow myself to think of the fact that in only a few more days it'll be back to school schedules, studying and (gag) packing lunches.
Although the house looks very empty, my heart is very full. So much has transpired over the 3 weeks of my holidays. I've gone from being a Mrs to a Miss and a Pederson to a Rumbolt. I've got back on track, I've cleaned and rearranged, and I've set new goals for the coming year. I've spent lots of time relaxing, reflecting and soaking in the peace of the season.
I really did have a great Christmas.
