The C word

Mark and I kicked off the Christmas season last night by watching Miracle on 34th St and setting up the fake tree he bought a decade ago at Toys R Us on December 26th, back when he still worked there.

So yeah, Christmas time. I'm much happier around Christmas time these days, mostly because I don't have much expendable income, so I don't feel obligated to buy everyone lavish gifts. I'm all about enjoying the season and spending time with friends and family this time. And Christmas parties, of course!

I was thinking about that this morning. Apparently a lot of people are in the same boat as me. I haven't heard one bah humbug complaint so far. I like that.

"I'm all about enjoying the season and spending time with friends and family this time."

Which is the best way (in my mind) to approach this time of year. Merry Christmas, my new friend....

It's such a 180 for me. I used to get so stressed out this time of year.
Merry Christmas back!

(I need a Christmas icon, stat.)
