Happy Monday! My son calls today the lamest day of the year. In his eyes, everything pales when compared to Christmas. I’m in another camp. I welcome today with open arms. While I love the holiday season, I’m always happy to get back to my regularly scheduled program. And today, is the start of all of that. Ahh…

I hope you had a wonderful holiday celebration, and that you got your holiday stuff done with plenty of time to relax and enjoy all your hard work and preparations. Here’s how it all went for us…

Play List:

  • Both dinners, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were wonderful—very much a celebration of the holiday season. We loved spending the day at home yesterday…leisurely opening gifts, eating a nice big breakfast and a light lunch. It doesn’t seem like I spent as much time on the couch as I had pictured in my mind…but I wouldn’t change a thing about how the day played out.
  • Boot camp. This didn’t happen.  My cold made it hard to breath, which makes it really hard to exercise at that level of intensity. But…I’m happy to say that the cold was much better by Christmas Eve afternoon…and is now just about gone.
  • Make snowflakes. Check! We all got in on the fun. It was a great before-Christmas project.

To Finish:

  • Finish wrapping gifts. Check!
  • Grocery shopping.  Check! (Thank you Jay.)
  • Baking. Check! Jay’s Baklava was delicious.

I hope you had a great weekend, too. Let me know all about it in the comments. 🙂 And I hope you enjoy today, whether you love today or you’re in my son’s camp when it comes to December 26th.
