No, I am not a scrooge. Trust me when I tell you, I made my list. I checked it…ummm…more than twice. And, Christmas cards were right up there on Page 3. But, the days are rapidly flying by, and I am starting to feel a little bit snowed under.
Today’s kindness reminder at Because of Heller is, Be Kind to Yourself. And, I think I am going to try to practice what I preach. This year, I am going to have a Reality-based Holiday. I’m ready to lose the expectations. That means, I won’t make Good Housekeeping’s Most Beautifully Decorated Homes list, but perhaps I also won’t be the highest strung decoration in the house either.
My husband will thank me. My kids will thank me. And, their smiles will shine so brightly that nobody will notice the house anyway.
Anyway, this year, I might not send Christmas cards.
Note to my family: This doesn’t let you off the hook for holiday photos.

Oh I'm lovin' the idea of a reality-based holiday. Less pressure, more enjoying ♥
