Sunday December 14th make the effort to slow down today. Enjoy a cup of coffee while you sit and read the paper with Christmas music softly playing in the back ground– extra credit stay in you r pajamas until 12:00pm.
Monday December 15th wrap all gifts that need to go out of town today and go to the post office. Helpful hint: go to the post office around 10:40 that way you will miss the rush of the morning “Traffic” in the post office and avoid the lunch “Traffic”.
Tuesday December 16th start the day off with a protein shake to gear you up for your final “Power Shopping” day. As always as you pass the red kettle be kind and drop some change in, hold the door open and ask each store clerk how their day is! (I bet you will get better service and put a smile on their face.)
Wednesday December 17th Say to yourself it will all get done and take a deep breath in. Write out what is really important this holiday and also write what you want your children to learn from this season. Focus and remember Jesus is the reason for the season.
Thursday December 18th Finish your Christmas cards and send them out today. Do a little dance to celebrate that being done as you leave the post office. You will feel great and make those around you wonder what you are on!
Friday December 19th reconnect with dear friends by going to a movie and dinner afterwards! Relax and enjoy the conversation! Our lives are busy but never to busy to miss an opportunity to connect with others. (This idea will also make a great New Year’s resolution – I know it will be on my list for 2009.)
Saturday December 20th let’s dress up and have some girlfriends over to wrap gifts and enjoy a bottle of red wine. Each person is responsible for bringing their own wrapping paper, gifts to wrap and scissors, you provide the music, wine and tape! I think this would be a blast! Talk about multitasking party and get gifts wrapped, how cool.
*Let’s remember as we go through our week that laughter is not only the music of the soul but also the shortest distance between two people even if they are strangers.
Stay tuned for more fun holiday suggestions for December 21st – December 28th!
