When that trip was cancelled due to an ear infection that prevented me from flying I thought … this is NOT what I had in mind when I wished I could be at home with my family instead.
And now that I am home, sinus/ear infection in full swing, it’s been a little hard to get into the Christmas Spirit.
Or to get much done, for that matter.
Actually, motivation to do just about anything – Christmas or otherwise – has been hard to come by.
Stanley, our poor Elf on the Shelf, sat in the same place (our kitchen table centerpiece) for the entire weekend.
I looked at him. I thought about moving him. Then I thought: I’ll do it later. Can’t get off the couch just yet.
But I didn’t move him. Not on Friday. Or Saturday. Or Sunday. Or even before Baby woke up yesterday morning.
It would be fair to say that I’ve been moping around a bit these last few days.
If it hasn’t been on my computer or available via the TV remote, it just wasn’t getting done.
Until … I took a quick look at a few of your blogs.
There are crafts and recipes and stories. There is joy and holiday cheer all around.
So, thanks everyone, for helping me get a little bit of the Christmas Spirit back …
I’m not quite sure I’m up for doing a lot just yet, but I’m definitely making plans!
On the agenda for later this week …
Holiday Cooking: mint truffles, cinnamon/sugar pretzels, chex mix, cookies, reindeer noses, and more!
Holiday Crafts: Cinnamon/Applesauce ornaments and about a half dozen cute hand/foot/finger print ideas
Holiday Decorations: We’re getting the lights up outside … Whether or not it is cold or raining!
Holiday Fun: A party, spending time with friends and family, making those recipes and projects
Blogging: I’ll do my best to blog my way through the holidays, too! You know, me – the extremely non-crafty mom who will now have to make a special trip to the store for supplies for all the things mentioned above.
Tomorrow, by which time I better be feeling better!
For today, we’ll start small. Stanley has a new set of wheels!
