‘Tis the Season

By December 1, 2016No Comments

The countdown is on! Twenty-five days until Christmas.

If you are a new mom like myself, this year will likely look different than years past. It’s easy to have the season pass you by while you are busy with your little ones. One way to prevent this from happening is to make time to do something “Christmasy” everyday… no matter how small.

For example, my husband and I have attempted to sit down the last two evenings to watch a Christmas movie… as life would have it, Jax was struggling to sleep during both of our attempts. Instead of being upset about it, we opted to have the tree on and watch a Christmas episode from the “Friends” series (which by the way, there are quite a few really good Christmas episodes in the series).

Celebrate the season, even if it’s listening to Christmas tunes on the radio, ordering the “Christmas” blend at Starbucks (which is now available in the Blonde Roast), sipping Christmas-inspired tea at home, reading a Christmas story to the kids or “trying” to watch a Christmas movie or show every night.

‘Tis the season. So enjoy it!
