Christmas was a lot more fun when I didn't have to do thework.
We had a good day, we did, even with the half-ass decorated tree (which is truly complimentary since it only has lights and five random ornaments on it) and the fact we did all of our shopping last Sunday and on Christmas Eve.
No Elf on the shelf frivolity, no baking in our house.... Hell, we are not home half the time.
With me traveling for work and hubs working two jobs, uh, we are tired.
But thing one and thing two were happy with their gifts and didn't have one complaint, and we all laid around and watched movies on tv all day which was a HUGE luxury in our non-stop insanely scheduled lives.
Spent a little time with extended family too. But nothing to speak of other than sharing some food, conversation, and small gift exchanges
I guess I hate to take the pause button off, but I am relieved that Christmas, in the scheduled and commercial sense, is over. I am weary of the "Facebook perfect" Christmas pics and posts I have seen for the last month, and I am ready to get back to reality.
Maybe NEXT year I will have that amazing Christmas holiday, but I am not regretting our rather "meh" version either.
So many things coming up in 2014, I am worn out just thinking about it.....
