day 1 of journaling my Christmas


Starting today, December first, I will keep a Christmas journal. In it, I will write
something every day to reflect on the holidays of my past, enjoy the holidays of
the present and dream about the holidays of the future. To some, this would be a
stack of papers and trivial scribbles, but not to me. I am taking back my Christmas, I am letting it be something I relish and most importantly I am giving at least fifteen minutes to myself, every day, no matter how crazy this season becomes. This
Christmas I will make something with my own hands, my own words and my own memories.

Good for you, Lesa! I'm trying to figure out how to (force myself to) slow down and savor the season. Journaling is a great idea.

Good for you! We mommas need to take that time because no one will just give it to us.
