Things that are good:
Posted on | December 22, 2006 | 10 Comments
* Sucking on a maple lollypop while doing secretive artsy things.
* Watching the neighbor kids put on a Christmas play in the barn with sheep and donkeys, and all the grown ups singing carols.
* Sipping hot cider and talking to neighbors while Bean raced around with a delicate waffle cookie clenched tightly in both hands.
* The row of metal snowflake lights hanging in our kitchen.
* The fact that today was the last day of school, and that tomorrow I will get to sleep in tomorrow with DH under the luxury of a double down comforter (so snug!)
*Plans for delivering cookies to our neighbors with Bean in the red wagon, tomorrow.

Things That Are Good: seeing a post from you first thing in the morning.
I want to see your metal snowflake lights!

You had to work all this week?! I’m glad you’re finally getting a holiday break. Unlike Liz, I wanna see photos of the sheep and donkeys.
Happy Holidays, Christina, to you and and your beautiful family.

oh what lovely LOVELY moments and ohhhhh– big rest this weekend (it’s a miserable gray, rainy slush bucket over here)– sending you sweetest wishes for a most magical first Christmas in your new home!!!!

Sounds like the spirit of the season has found you – I’m starting to feel too now at long last!

I second lizardek. It is great to see that you are on your feet and enjoying the season.
Friday was my first sleep-in and I must have needed it. To bed at midnight and not up until 11:30 am. Whew.
Looking forward to seeing photos of the Bean on Christmas morning!

Sleeping late is like gold, it is that good. I’m glad you’re feeling better and enjoying the magical things of the season. I hope you get lots of time off from all those kidlets, and I’m wishing you a candlelit, wonder-filled Christmas, my special, dear friend.

Yeah, I agree. Sleeping late is one of those pleasures whose value and enjoyment can’t be explained with words – it’s even doubly enjoyable with someone you love under luxurious bed coverings. mmmm … double down comforters and winter mornings!

I was just writing a post about using joy as a weapon to fight a cold. Your list is the perfect inspiration to what we should be paying attention to.
