• Wednesday, December 27, 2006 - The Aftermath
I love Christmas in the weeks beforehand. Getting the cookies baked, the house decorated and the presents wrapped. I always feel a sort of let-down on the big day and the days after. I really think my kids have picked up on it. They were just sort of blah about the presents and blah about the food, etc. So time to snap out of it MOM!! Now we're cleaning up and trying to find a place for all the bounty. My parents go WAY overboard. It's not healthy. I wish they wouldn't spoil my kids like they do but it's only once a year, right?!! My absolute favorite gift was from my in-laws. We got a really nice espresso machine, since my mil works at a kitchen supply store. I just love espresso drinks and our new machine is so easy to use and clean I am in heaven!!! My kids got way too many toys, some new clothes and some cool science type stuff since My Heart is the ultimate science geek. I love it. We have some rocks polishing right now!
I am actually excited for the upcoming year. For our family's buy nothing new year. It will be an interesting challenge especially when the novelty wears off. It's going to be great for the pocketbook and great for the soul. Thinking about what you need rather than wanting something just to have it, it's so important and vital for the planet. I can't wait!!
