Happy Christmas Week! I hope you are healthy and enjoying this special time of year with people you love. If you aren’t, I am truly sorry to hear it. We’ve had more than a few difficult Christmases over the years for a variety of reasons and it always brings with it a lot of emotions. Here are a few posts that might encourage you if you are in that place this year:
- When Christmas Isn’t as It Should Be
- The Reality of Holiday Overwhelm for Highly Sensitive Children
- Saying “No” to Holiday Pressures
This week I don’t have any big homemaking goals. Here is what is on my agenda.
Goal 1 – Keep the house reasonably clean and picked up
Goal 2 – Make yummy foods for Caroline and David so they have a good Christmas
Goal 3 – Focus on what is really important so I’m not grumpy or impatient because I can’t make things the way I wish they could be
What are you hoping to do this week? Do your celebrations last all week or is it just one or two big days? Let me know in the comments!

Merry Christmas!
We are having low-key celebrations with family spread out over the week. I got the biggest item on my holiday baking list done today. I still have many presents to wrap, which won’t happen until the tape is returned by whichever child made off with it.
Merry Christmas, Peggy!
I hope your celebrations are going well and the tape bandit returned his/her contraband. LOL!

The week is halfway over because our Christmas celebrations started on Monday……
We leave early Friday for the in-laws, so my goal for tomorrow is to have the house and our life in general ready for that.
I’m off to read when Christmas isn’t as it should be, our dog has cancer, and so everyone is super touchy right now, and emotional.
Hi Ticia,
I’m so sorry to hear about your dog. I can imagine that is emotionally draining for your family.
Have safe travels and a good time with your extended family!
