I'm pondering. Pondering what I want our Christmas time as a family to "look like."
I'm looking for ideas.
I'm helping to lead a discussion among friends on Friday night on the topic. I'm feeling excited over a topic that I thought was boring even as it was suggested. Now, I'm feeling excited to think and ponder how our family will look during the holidays.
We are at the beginning. The start. Making plans that will impact future habits and traditions for our family.
I dont't want to get too intense about it.... or become legalistic, judgemental (looking at other families and thinking- "wow. what a waste- if only." ugh... I hate pride), or guilty if we "neglect" or don't fulfil the ideal picture.
But here is my request: for those that still take a peek at my blog, can you send me some links of articles, blogs, books you've come across that have inspired, informed or engaged you on the topic of Christmas traditions.
Christmas is coming... Now is the time to prepare.
