Christmas 2016 ©2016, Sammi Lou Thorne
This holiday season I noticed an abundance of articles dedicated to “surviving” the holidays. How have you survived the holiday season? What thing or situation did you feel you needed to survive?
I have survived the season successfully this year. I started all my baking and sewing early (although it wasn’t really early enough for the sewing – and I really thought August would be), and got everything mailed and done by the 23rd. I also had all my gifts wrapped by midday on the 24th, so I didn’t have to spend all night wrapping. The holidays are always a bit rough – my dad died several years ago right before my birthday and Christmas, and it makes for a bit of a sad time – and I tend to overcompensate by baking.
Bonus: What are your plans for New Year’s Eve? New Year’s Day?
Well, not much. New Year’s Eve will probably be a movie marathon – I haven’t decided on the series yet – and New Year’s Day will be taking down all of the Christmas decorations and storing them for next year.
I hope everyone has had a good holiday season, and here’s to a Happy New Year!
