Had gotten to the point of, not enjoying, with overload, but have stepped back, realized one year when unexpectidly had some family needed to stay over on the 25th, one of the kids got sick, before they could get home. Things were kind of pitiful without even a tree up :).
So now decorate some, gives another good reason to dust:)
Have always enjoyed the cooking, can try out those new recepies and get some input.
Send out a few cards, if no other reason than to say Hi! (one year all rec'd them on New Years, LOL)
Now have Company comes in from out of town stay over, we end up cooking and goofing around, and there always nice enough to help out with the last minute wrapping or cooking.
Just my out look for this year, but much better than some years past :)
