We've never been able to travel at this time of the year but now we can. We had a fun time visiting with family and friends but now that we are home, I had to change my ideas on Christmas decorating. Simple decorating has never been in my vocabulary but it is now. This phase of my life is the dawning of a new season of life and I'm learning to be content with what I can do. That said, when we returned home, we had Grandparent days and we were so proud of our grandkids. I would love for you to see some more pictures, please go to my daughters blog by clicking here:

Wishing you a Merry Christmas
What? No decorating extravaganzas? Welcome to the dark side...no lights, no twinkle, no glitz, no glitter. In a way it makes me feel better that you've joined us. I always would look at your photos and wish I'd made the effort, then thought of all of the work of putting it all away and got over it. I remember when my mother didn't care anymore about putting up a tree and decorating the house and I thought it was terrible. Now I think it's just fine. Do what you feel like doing and don't feel guilty. After all over the top decorating isn't the real reason for the season.
ReplyDeleteWell, what a handsome group of grandsons! They must make you so proud!
