Thank You for Christmas!

I am so excited about this holiday season. I am excited and I am thankful. There are so many special things that happen during the Christmas season yet we sometimes get so overwhelmed that we forget that they are special.

So today, a week before Christmas, take a few minutes and think about what you are thankful for. Write these things down and keep them close by so that when the craziness of the holidays starts to set in, you can stop it. Everything we do at Christmas is based upon something we are thankful for. For example:

Presents - there is nothing like the look of delight in our loved ones faces
Giving - it is fun to buy gifts for people we love
Cards - we want to maintain friendships/business relationships
Parties/dinners - there are people we really want to see and spend time with
Decorating - it is so much fun to see the world lit up around us
Baking/cooking - well, this one explains itself
Traditions - we find comfort and memories in our traditions

For everything you are doing this holiday season, you should be able to tie it back to something that you are truly thankful for. If you can't, then you likely should not be spending your precious holiday minutes doing it.

Keeping in mind what you are thankful for will make your Christmas very enjoyable! Make sure you let those whom you are thankful for know how you feel - it will be one of their best gifts ever! Have a very Merry Christmas!

PS. On the note of being thankful - Don't forget to send thank you cards to everyone who takes the time to include you on their list of people they are thankful for.
