We are keeping it quiet this year. For the last few years, we have always made a big deal during Christmas. We always felt obligated to really show the 3 kids how spectacular Christmas morning can feel. We always went overboard with gifts and spent way too much. This year we focused more on the ”togetherness” of the season. Making cookies, decorating the house, donating items at toys for tots, Christmas games, and activities has been filling the house up with the holiday spirit.  And I think the family itself is more relaxed and comfortable. The adoption was finalized in the spring and everyone feels a bit of relieve from that. The kids are settled into school by now. There is a sense of peace and serenity here, which is a great feeling. Of course, Santa will be stopping by our house next week but his bundle will be a little lighter than usual. Happy Holidays!!!!!!
