I hate to say it, but I’m not much of a christmasey girl.
I mean, I do love the smell of a real christmas tree, christmas lights, ornaments, baking cookies and cuddling by the fire. But the thing is, I’ve now spent about half of my life away from home and family, so for me (not to be a downer or anything), the best thing is to avoid the hype and just be merry in the snow or at home with my hubby.
And I looove that. We spent some lovely days snowboarding and now we have a couple of more days of nesting at home. It’s quite delicious really. No stress. No crowded stores. No traffic. No rush. Just the two of us, some jazz playing, and the cuddly winter inviting us to slow down and be merry.
I did want to thank you though, for all your Christmas wishes, gifts, all the cards with your pretty faces on it, your kids cuteness, your holiday letters… I sincerely enjoy every bit of it. In fact, one of my favorite rituals is to open each card and take in the magic, one by one. I am very grateful that you make the time to nurture our friendship, and that you stop by this blog and fill my life with goodness throughout the entire year.
Much love, peace, joy, success… and no stress, to you and yours!

Christmas
December 26, 2009
hope your 2010 is fabulous!
no stress…that would be oh so nice
So courageous of you to admit to not being Christmas-ey. Me too!
My favorite part about the holidays is going to experience a different culture w/out the materialism and/or working in the studio w/out the phone ringing or email pinging!
Happy New Year!
Hope you had a very merry Christmas, with lots of blessings–Gypsy Purple–Chamara
Merry Christmas, dear friend.

It sounds as though you are rather Christmasey, after all! You have a lot of nice little traditions built in to your life the way I see it.
:)
Hope you had a great holiday Alex!
I know I am seeing this post later than intended. But I can relate to your sentiments so dearly. I am living away from home and most of my family so I find the ‘being with family’ deluge overwhelming. But it is nice to celebrate Xmas with my hubby in my own way.
The mind then opens in a unique way. Alluring blog! Thanks for giving out this hearsay. It will be very constructive in regular part of site.
