Resting place for Mrs. D's homepage blab "Around the
Homestead"...
December 2007

December is here and Christmas excitement is building around
the Homestead. Cookie baking, decorating, present
smuggling, wrapping and shipping are in high gear. Like many other
families preparing for this holiday, Mrs. D's finds it almost unthinkable
to keep up with everyday housework, ranch chores, homeschooling
(good time for winter break!) and running a business, while trying to
create a peaceful, joyful holiday experience. Maybe your family
is celebrating a different holiday. For some great helpful hints on
getting ready for the holidays 15 minutes at a time, check out www.flylady.net for Holiday Cruising
Missions. She's also got awesome free tips for getting and keeping
your life and home in order year round.

Another important detail to remember is "why do we have this
holiday?" For those of us celebrating Christmas, it's a good time to crack
open that dusty ole Book and reread the first chapter of the Gospel of Matthew
or Luke (New Testament in case you've forgotten). Getting the proper
perspective on the holiday can totally change the way you prepare for
it. For Mrs. D, turning her priorities inward, and letting go of that
outward perfectionism is a great relief. The trappings of Christmas
- tree, presents, feast - all help to make it special. But if the
Homestead is not joyful place because of the stress of getting ready
for the holiday, then why bother?
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year's!
Thanks,
Mrs. D
