The countdown has started

It is 22 days until Christmas! I want to savor each day of this time whether shopping, decorating, cooking, writing Christmas cards, or the dreaded wrapping of packages. I have made myself a promise to try to be present in the moment each day instead of being anxious about what I have or have not accomplished on that long list of things to do. On that list is making cookies with my grands and getting flour, sugar, icing, and sprinkles everywhere. The cookies will be delicious but the memories to be made are priceless.
