Christmas Countdown Day 24

As we approach Christmas Day, let’s take a moment to remember everything we did over the last 23 days through the Christmas countdown and incorporate it into the rest of the year.  Take those long walks,  coffee and tea breaks with an old friend or a new friend, love on your kids and significant other each day, and enjoy life as it was meant to be enjoyed.  We will always have stress, trials, and difficult times at some point in our lives, but how we handle those times will help us get through them.

Tonight read by the Christmas tree with your little ones and remember the times from your childhood and the anticipation for Santa to arrive.  If you do not have kids or  your kids are grown, sit by the tree and read something that you enjoy and remember those special moments that you had as a child.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Countdown Day 23

One of my favorite past times is walking around the neighborhood to see the Christmas lights.  There is something different about walking to see the lights vs just driving in your car.  Tonight if you get an opportunity drive to a place that has beautiful lights, park, and walk down the strets to see them.  Walking is good exercise but it also gives you an opportunity to disconnect from social media, tv, radios, and the pressing numerous chores left behind.

Christmas Countdown Day 22

What a great gift I received for my birthday yesterday.  My BFF invited me out to lunch and some last minute shopping at the mall. 

When I arrived at the mall I was thinking about how crowded it may be but in the late morning on a Friday it was not overpacked at all.  It was pleasant to stroll through the mall and be greeted with a smile from a gentleman that had the look of love in his eyes as he was leaving the mall with a little package from Tiffanys.

I then passed a gentleman with a shopping bag from Prada beaming from ear to ear as he quickly walked around the mall.

I continued to make my way to the restaurant passing yet another gentleman on the phone sharing his treasure with someone on the phone about his gift from Louis Vuitton.

As I approached Tiffany’s I saw two more gentlemen with little bags from Tiffany’s.   I glanced into Tiffany’s to see the store filled with male shoppers, talking with the salespeople.

As I proceeded on my journey I looked around and saw mostly men shopping and started to think to myself about the first few people that I saw with their special gifts they selected for their significant others.  Not everyone, of course, can spend the prices that Tiffanys, Prada, or Louis Vuitton charge, however when it comes time to selecting a gift for that special someone, it is not the price but the thought that comes from your heart and how you present it.

A simple card that says you love someone and the gift of time may be the gift that will always be remembered.  So this Christmas whether you can afford a gift for that special someone or you can’t due to circumstances, take the time to write a beautiful love letter about the way you feel towards that special someone.  Really put some thought into what is in your heart, your significant other will treasure that forever.

I finally made it to my lunch with my BFF and realized that we all need days like this to share lunch, dinner, a cup of coffee, or tea with those near to our heart and cultivate those relationships.

Christmas Countdown Day 21

December 21st is the first day of winter and also the shortest day of the year. It gets darker sooner as we start the winter months.

Take a moment to light some candles and make the evening warm and inviting.

Get comfy on the couch

as you enjoy the quiet time before the rush of Christmas sets in.
Enjoy a good book with a cup of your favorite coffee, hot cocoa, or tea.

This quiet time can be exactly what you need tonight to recharge your batteries before the Christmas festivities start.

Christmas Countdown Day 20

As the schedules get busier and the stress levels increase, we tend to stay up later and get run down, making us susceptible to feeling sluggish and decreasing our immune system.

Today take note to drink plenty of water to keep hydrated and vitamin C.

Another great remedy to fend off colds and flu is a cup of echinacea tea and if you are like me that loves some added flavor,  adding raspberry tea goes great with echinacea tea.

Always carry a little bottle of antibacterial in your purse as you leave places to use.  This is the season for colds and flu so if you cannot access soap and water right away, the antibacterial will help keep the germs at bay.
