And Just Like that it's Christmas ....

(Channukah too!)

It's like the Covid lockdown never happened. Life is full steam ahead without remembering to breathe. Without a pause after Thanksgiving, you can walk into Starbucks, Target and Big Y and they are in full holiday mode. I don't know about you, but I am still recovering from the foodapalooza of Turkey week.

Holiday time always comes with joy, anxiety and chaos. I look so forward to family get togethers but often times feel disappointed, sad or overwhelmed. The pressure of everything always being fun, perfect and joyous create this perfect storm. As a mother I just want to make sure this family get together is everything to everyone. I want to please my parents, my brothers and my kids. Every family has dynamics and nothing is ever perfect. What I realized is I NEED TO LET GO of trying to figure out how to make this happen. The truth is the only person who is feeling the pressure is me. The kids are happy to just watch football with their family and friends. They do not hold onto wishing they had a better mac and cheese dish......that's me.

So here is the pause....the breath......how do we reset and plan for the next 3 weeks? How do we avoid the same aggravating Waltz dance we do with ourselves. I realized, we need to learn the Cha Cha ! It is much more fun, and messing it up is ok because it is not the Waltz. Laughing is so much more fun than crying....Let's figure out a way to laugh straight through to 2023!!!
