We made it home safe and sound after a very long day of flying yesterday. We survived the weekend (the fact that they stayed up really late everyday was buffered by the two-hour time change), I got to read an entire book and I became proficient in Plants vs. Zombies. What more could I ask for?
The next several weeks are going to fly by. Hanukkah starts a week from Saturday (luckily I think I have most of my shopping done, I need to take inventory some time this week while the kids are at school) and then Christmas is just a couple weeks after that. I already got my holiday cards out because I wanted everybody to have our new address and not send our cards to the cranky people who bought our house and may or may not forward the mail. Otherwise, that would still be looming over my head as well.
For some strange reason, I'm feeling abnormally calm about this holiday season. I don't know if it's because we got an extra week after Thanksgiving this year or I shopped really early (but I do that every year) or that I decided we aren't going to get the kids as much this year. I say that every year, but I think this year I've actually stuck to that.
I don't know, we'll see. The tree and decorations go up this weekend so maybe my attitude will change. For right now, I'm not stressing about anything which for this time of year is really, really nice.
Let the crazy, fast, loud, hectic holidays begin!
