"Good Enough" Christmas this Year

It's time to get your tickets for our annual New Year's Party for kids (countdown at 6pm sharp!) featuring ASHEBA. I know, I know, how the heck can you even think about New Year's when your Holiday TO-DO list is completely freaking you out? Presents, cards, trees, wrapping, mailing, traveling, giving and oh yes-Joy! I'm going for the "Good enough" system this year to get me through. We went to the garage to get the big artificial tree that was donated to us last year and next to it I saw an old small white tree I had used for extra decoration one year. I remembered the hours and hours it took to get the big tree put together and how we barely got it back into the box. I said to Brian "Let's use the white "Charlie Brown" one this year and call it a day. We set her up in 5 minutes and spent the rest of the day putting 100 ornaments all over her. Our tree is what I like to call perfectly imperfect and that is "good enough". More time playing, less time fussing-check! So make one thing easier on yourself this year. Break with tradition and create a bigger space for the Joy part.
