Christmas Day: the Joys of Jamma All Day

It's here. It's finally here.

Christmas Day. The finish line.

After all the running around, the list making, the shopping, the teacher gifting, the card writing, the cooking, the cleaning up, and the wrapping (til a bleary eyed 2:30AM), the sun rose on Christmas morning.

Well, to be truthful, the kids were up well before the sun rose, there's no need to get technical.

And as the kids danced around the beautiful tree, in a slow and glorious arc, like a giant tree falling in the forest, I plopped myself down on the couch. And I remained there for the rest of the day.

My work was done, and a long lazy pajama-all-day holiday was definitely in order.

I curled up on the couch with a pile of new books and a big box of See's Caramels and let go of all of that December stress in one long, blissful exhale.

Whether you celebrated Christmas today or just enjoyed a quiet day at home, I hope that you too had a chance to take that big long cleansing breath. And if you haven't yet, grab that spot on the couch. You deserve it.
