I wanted to stop in to wish you all a very merry Christmas.
I have surprised myself this year by not giving into holiday stress. I chose simple dishes and simple decor, and in return, I get more time with my husband and dogs. Because I am more relaxed, I have more fun when guests arrive. I've let go of the pressure to have a Martha Stewart Christmas, and have embraced the simplicity of home and family. It feels amazing.
I hope that, wherever you are, and however you are celebrating, these days are filled with a deep sense of peace and love.
Merry Christmas!
Merry merry Christmas to you too, Dawn & Ramon, Kiki & Boston (his first Christmas!) Glad you're not stressed...that's the way it should be. 2011 is looking bright, I think xoxoxo Rachel
