Day Four of our Christmas In July. I have been thinking about "holidays" today........ after all, it is Independence Day in the USA! I realize that.... the idea of a "holiday feast" is important to me!!!! A "holiday feast" is emotionally -- AND physically -- very satisfying! ESPECIALLY a feast that has dishes contributed by many people!!!
Today there was a great "holiday feast" at the swimming pool. Cooked hamburgers, hot dogs and veggie dogs -- and sodas -- were provided by the pool. And -- everyone really put effort into providing WONDERFUL side dishes and desserts. Many, many, MANY different selections! And quite plentiful!!! EVERYONE felt very well cared for! And felt that this day had been marked in a very special way!
I want to carry this over to our Christmas celebration! It definitely takes planning and effort....... but I, PERSONALLY, really, really enjoy it!!!!!
So...... all the more reason to prepare NOW for Christmas! That will leave more time.... and energy...... in December...... for things like parties and feasts!!!!
