I am going to say it's a good thing because it's not as though I have given up hope, I am going to take it as a sign that I am finally giving over the reigns and recognizing that we are not in control of this particular facet of our lives. Yep, that's my story and I'm sticking to it:).
The weather has certainly not been an indication of the holiday season as this December has seen temps mostly in the 60s and 70s (I for one am not complaining!). So we had to make our own holiday fun to get into the season.
I went and saw A Christmas Carol with a dear friend. Our seats were right in front of another friend I had not seen since the spring, so it was nice catching up before and after the show with both friends!
Our church community group adopted a special family this Christmas and we got to do some Star Wars shopping for the oldest. I would like to thank Disney for giving my husband a Christmas present in the opening of the Force Awakens:).
My parents stopped in town on their way to Florida (the life of the retired is such a struggle) and we went to see my school's production of Elf Jr.-the musical which was super cute. Then a couple nights later enjoyed the 2nd & 3rd grade holiday performance. That's the one nice thing about working at a school--there are always kids to get you in the season. Even though I am hoping that Elf on the Shelf is a fad that soon fades. Based on the stories the kids tell me it seems like a lot of work!
I hosted a dessert bar for my staff again this year. I have found this to be the best, most calorie saving way of baking for the holidays. This year I managed to find recipes that were both super easy and super yummy-a definite win, win!
We also went to my first hockey game. Not exactly Christmas inspired, but the temperature inside the Colosseum and all the ice certainly made me think of Christmas!
I have also managed to watch most of my Christmas favorites (or will watch over the next few days).
We plan to drive around and look at Christmas lights Wednesday night and leave to visit our families Thursday morning which will be the perfect way to cap this Christmas season. I think I enjoy Christmas more as an adult than I did as a kid (even though if I see the meme that holds this same sentiment but explains that it is more enjoyable because of their kids I may scream). In an effort to ends this post with the spirit of the season I leave you with...
