It’s the most Wonderful time of the Year!

You all know I love all things Christmas! The weather, yes I’ve spent many Christmas in the southern hemisphere and yes, I loved it, but there’s just something about snow, a white bearded old man in a red suit and hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows…

If I’m being honest, I’ve been nesting from right about after Thanksgiving. I’ve been getting into the Christmas Mood. My choice of music (all Christmas carols and songs from back in the day to today, of course!) seems to annoy everyone in my house, whenever they come out of their rooms they have white things sticking out of their ears!!!! and if I need to get their attention I have to scream and shout and ultimately revert to poking them so they know I need their attention! (they are all also avoiding eye contact with me because “apparently” I’m smiling and singing, at the same time, at the top of my lungs!)

I get that this isn’t everybody’s favourite Season (even if I don’t understand why ;). I know it can be very stressful and people are going through tough times, be it because of the situation we are living worldwide, be it because of things going on with their family. Of course I have all those people that I love dearly in my mind and heart but twinkly lights have a way of getting me to hope for the best. I do like silver linings and am constantly looking out for them.

But today I want to tell you about something that happened to me this week! I didn’t know if I should but, well, I’m only human and I really want you to know that the struggle is real no matter where you find yourself in life! You know I love budgets and I don’t always stick to them but I do a “happy-dance” whenever I do! You also know all my conundrums with cards (mostly credit cards!). Well, this year, for the first time in forever, we, my husband and I, decided that we would leave a lot of “extra” money in our “everyday” bank account because we are going away right after Christmas and because of holidays, it would be easier to have the money already there.

This week, I was out shopping for the last Christmas gifts I needed to get and I went into a store that I’ve been “eyeing” for years but had never gone in because it looks very nice and expensive.
