CIJ day 7 / jour 7
CIJ day 7 / jour 7
If Christmas is one of
your favorite holidays describe why you enjoy it so much. Are there any parts of the holiday you don’t
like? If you don’t enjoy Christmas the
most, how do you think it could be made better?
What I
don’t like:
·
Grinches
·
Having
to go visit everyone in a very condensed time in different places (far apart!)
·
Last
minute errands (gifts, foods)
·
Pressure
for perfect Christmas
·
Very
cold temperatures! (-30C yuck!)
Could be
made better:
·
In
my case I think I’d like more tranquil days .
·
Not
having the “obligation” to receive.
·
Less
store-bought gifts – more handmade and more heartfelt
·
Simple
receptions – cozy – less expectations
(ex: a potato bar, soup bar, instead of more traditional)
·
On
Christmas day I’d like a pj brunch and a movie day with games.
:) :) :) Sounds good!
ReplyDeleteI like your "could be made better" list - very thoughtful.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking it's now out in the 'universe' :) will work towards this
DeleteWe made a few changes in recent years to make Christmas less crazy - we have a big buffet on Christmas Eve and snack on the leftovers for several days - no pressure to cook big meals when you just want to enjoy your family and whatever movies, books, magazines, and games were under the tree. Christmas Day is pretty much pajama day at our house.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds perfect Pamela
