HHP helped me stay focus on what I wanted to do. I gave myself permission not to do some of the things when they were "assigned" just because of where I was at that time. HHP helped me think ahead. I had done the Christmas Countdown since 2000 but life has changed here and I really needed more time this year to at least think about getting the house ready and my heart ready for Christmas.
Next year, I will use this plan and I will simplify even more. I now see that there are a number of gifts to aides and workers who touch our life that can be bought in bulk ahead of time. If I do it that way, then I have the time to wrap and decorate a gift with more thought.
I" think" that I may use my photographs as a Christmas card next year. I've always enjoyed writing out cards with a personal note added at the bottom. I'm debating about stopping that and just sending out a photo instead.
I've made lots of breads and cookies in the past as gifts. Now I may just do it for parties that we host.
That's what has been going on in my mind.
