I so look forward to your posts. <BR/>This post was so clever, I've read it 3 times now. <BR/>Strange that my boys are watching the Grinch as I write this. <BR/>I give you all the credit in the world for throwing a birthday party in December and not letting your child's bday meld into Christmas as so many people do. Well done!<BR/>As for the rest of the season, I've decided to take it all in stride. I can recall my mom getting terribly sick after every single Christmas as a kid. She would hold up right until the day after Christmas. She was so busy, running around, making everything perfect for everyone, and once Christmas was done her body would let down. I don't want to do that to myself. <BR/>Easier said than done, I know, but I'll try. <BR/>Anyway, hope you find a way to ease your holiday stress. <BR/>Thanks for a fabulous post. I really enjoyed it.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14339665205284492242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-74105049093245332007-12-07T09:18:00.000-06:002007-12-07T09:18:00.000-06:00you are a literary genius, oh Grincy one! and the...you are a literary genius, oh Grincy one! and the baby Jesus with his sign cracked me up too, which is - all in all - kinda nice.

W...Oh Julie, I'm laughing out loud over that photo. What a hoot. I used to get all stressed out about Christmas. I'd shop way too much, eat way too much, spend too much money. Then, I converted to Judaism. OK, not really just to avoid Christmas but I have to say I don't miss it. My Jewish hubbie was afraid that would be one of the biggest things I missed but in reality, I'm much happier not having to get caught up in the frenzy. I love looking at the lights and decorations. But I don't feel any pressure to get caught up or overspend. I love it. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season in spite of the stress : )Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058386764811033042noreply@blogger.com
