Arise and Laugh

you are a M.O.M when.....
an hour after shopping you come home and forget what you bought so you ask your friend to borrow what you just purchased.

I totally did this last Friday. Here I was trying to finish up some homemade Christmas presents and remembered that I needed a staple gun. I went to trusty FB to see if I could borrow one from someone. As I was waiting for a response I unloaded my shopping bags and to my surprise I found a new staple gun.(Yes, I purchased it. I had just forgotten I bought it.) I started laughing at myself as I hope you are now. Have you had a M.O.M. moment like this before?

We do need a little Christmas, right this very minute!! As the stress headache starts to come on and we are suffocating in a sea of gift-buying and party-planning. We need a minute to remember what this season is all about.

I don't know if you're in the midwest but if you are then you'll agree it really is beginning to look ALOT like Christmas. Blizzards...love em...hate em. If you are lucky enough to be able to stay inside, make a cup of hot cocoa and just enjoy the beautiful winter, then that's what it's all about!

When I was a child the majority of my time during the holidays was spent running from one performance to the next. Parades, malls, festivals....and it was the greatest part of the holidays for me. I can still remember the actions to "Holly Jolly Christmas." oh by golly, have a holly jolly Christmas this year!

Peace On Earth is when you take the loved ones for a car ride to look at the lights and watch a Christmas movie.

Yep, this is what we did last night and it was Peace on Earth...for most the time. We drove to a local light show where we stayed in the car, listened to music, and looked at the lights. Everyone was entertained even Dad enjoyed the puppy movie in the back. I loved after the lights the Christmas story was told through beautiful art work and displays. It was a wonderful time as a family.

Whether you are Christian, Jewish or no religion at all, you have to admit that it is the most wonderful time of the year. It is magical and joyous. Don't let the negativity, over-consumption, or bah-humbug of the world get you down. Think of someone else, think of your childhood. Arise and celebrate the season!
