Let the Holidays Be

Written by Lynn Cutts

Continued from page 1

What if we tuned out all this last minute urgency and just accepted that we're going to be hitting repparttar stores, along with all repparttar 122863 other normal people, on December 23rd and 24th? The holidays aren't a race: no one gets an extra toy or more chocolate in their stocking because they had their shopping or baking or decorating done early. And even if we do get things done ahead of time, we'll find another holiday task (or ten) to fill up our newly discovered "spare" time.

What if we turned getting ready for repparttar 122864 holidays into part of repparttar 122865 holidays? What if we stopped trying to finish everything earlier, better, and faster than everyone else, and enjoyed repparttar 122866 preparations? After all, That Day will still come, whether you've baked ten kinds of cookies, or one, or bought some from a bakery. It will still come, whether there are 1500 lights on your house, or a wreath on repparttar 122867 door. It will still come, whether you've got your shopping done by July 23rd, November 23rd, or December 23rd. And it will be just fine, no matter what.

And even if it doesn't turn out to be perfect, guess what? You get another crack at it next year.

So relax a bit. Spend time with friends and family. Give thanks for repparttar 122868 bounty around you.

And have a wonderful holiday season.
