As we enter this long weekend, many of us will be gathering together for Christmas activities, meals, fun, and events. I want to remind you to live simply as you go through them. Forget the rushing around that's really unnecessary. Focus instead on what's most important - not the gifts, not the shows, not even the "perfect meal"; focus on spending quality time with those you've gathered with this season. If you can't be "home" for Christmas or travel to where your relatives are, make a point to call or video chat with them, even if it's only for a few minutes. If you have a relative you know is alone and lonely this time of year (or a friend/coworker/neighbor), then make just a few minutes to see or call them. It could be the highlight of their whole year.
Enjoy the homemade gifts, treats, and the simplicity of things. Don't scramble over lists and schedules. Just rest with those you care about most.
I will probably not blog again until Tuesday or Wednesday so I can enjoy a simple long Christmas weekend with my own friends and family. Until then, enjoy. See you after the weekend for a focused 2018.
