Second coffee. Watching the grands string lights and hang ornaments. I have never waited so long in getting everything together for Christmas. Pretty much all presents are bought and wrapped. Not doing the extravaganzas I always have done, and it actually feels good.

@CinnamonGirlE Simple is good, everyone pitch in and bring something, bake something, etc.

It's wonderful. Never going back.
My Christmas 🎄 becomes less complicated, expensive and stressful each year. I am delighted to have Christmas week to celebrate this year.
It’s my gift 🎁 to myself.

The very best present we could give ourselves. Peace. 🎄❤️
Since my kids were grown and I had grands, I have done multiple themed trees, matching paper, carrying many traditions forth. When my hubby passed, I lost enthusiasm understandably. We were a team. This year I was uncharacteristically late preparing due to sickness. I have seen the whole world doesn't unravel, and I am amazingly calm even though I am not ready and am only putting ornaments on today, lol. I figure the important things will get done and I only bought fun presents.
