Wow.

I wrote about my feelings concerning Christmas on the Being Savvy Halifax blog, it was an amazing day, one I hope I never forget. I am deliriously happy. My family is content and full of glee.

I was so spoiled. My husband is evil and told me … demanded that I not spend money on him. The house, the family it is all he wants for Christmas. So I purchased a few shirts so he is hip at work, a new video game and a couple new books to read. Nothing overly thoughtful or amazing, just nice sweet gifts.

Then he totally spoils me! Grrr! I am forever grateful and my inner diva is delighted but I have this awful feeling that I did not put enough of myself into his Christmas. My sweet husband disagrees but he is sweet and nice and I love him!

I have so many things to be thankful for. The amazing pile of gorgeous books waiting for me to read, content children that adored all that they received, an amazing house that totally, completely feels like home. Perfect.

Were your holidays fabulous?

Have fun with more Wordless Wednesday.

Oh my! What a day yesterday! I got a call from a reporter from CTV, just as I was expecting friends over for a play date! J came home early and was totally supportive (in return he was captured in the segment with Becca and Ethan too)!

I was included in a segment about last minute shopping tips. I am so sure I was never meant to be in front of a camera, that I am much more comfortable at a computer, yet it was fun

What I love about Christmas:

1. Sharing the joy of Jesus birth with my children.
2. The turkey. J & I prepare the turkey together (mostly J to be honest) and it turns out awesome!
3. Ok I seriously love opening presents! Before we had kids and we spent Christmas’ together alone J & I would always open our presents EARLY! Oh gosh we were evil! hehe
4. I absolutely adore finding the perfect presents (or creating them) for others. I enjoy shopping (early) and I love creating things. I get the opportunity to show those I care about how much they mean to me.
5. Sending and receiving Christmas cards (oh mine went out sooo late this year I am so embarrassed). I hang them all on twine and feel all warm and fuzzy. Next year I am starting earlier!

Now to tag a few of those that I know have the Christmas Spirit (and may have the time to do this!)
