I'm so glad that I've finally reached the point of making *necessary changes* around this time of year, so that I can truly enjoy my favorite time of the year... and let GO of the unnecessary stress (because it really is unnecessary!).

I am a complete Christmas lover and every year I enjoy this build-up. I must admit though that in recent years whilst I still love it, I have found it all pretty stressful. For lots of reasons really too many to list, but I am really trying this year to embrace the happiness and the family side of things and not sweat all the other stuff. I decided not to send cards too a few years back and have to say I haven't really missed it! I do a smilebox to keep up with people but for me it was actually an environmental thing - cards that contain letters were great but so many got sent to us saying 'dear x, love y' and that was all, so that seemed to defeat the object for me!<br /><br />As for Christmas Eve present opening - I am so lucky as my Mum is Danish and they do it all on Christmas Eve so we get to have some 'Danish' presents then and then do the whole English traditional Christmas on Christmas Day! Hurrah! <br /><br />You have made me happy now thinking of this :-)<br /><br />Lou xxLouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13457538074763854583noreply@blogger.com
