Everyone knows how the holidays can wear you out and leave you exhausted.
This year was no exception for me and my family. From traveling hours to spend time with my family and my husband’s, being referee to the kids on the car rides, and making so much food….it was really delicious, the whole family is exhausted.
Today while my kids are on their playdates and my husband is working at the office, I am dedicating today to myself and relaxing and distressing.
My husband got me a new book for Christmas so I plan on reading it all morning, sipping my tea, and indulging myself in a hot bath. This afternoon I even scheduled a massage. I haven’t had one in ages, I can’t even remember when the last time I had one was.
Even though Christmas was exhausting it was so worth it. We had an incredible couple of days. We went to the annual Christmas parade with a few of our family friends. The kids had so much fun catching candy and seeing all the floats. And we got to catch up with a few old friends while sipping hot chocolate.
On Christmas Eve we went to my husband’s family’s house for dinner. It was great seeing everyone and watching the kids play with all of their cousins. On Christmas day we went to my parents’ house for dinner. I was so proud of my mom, she made an almost entirely vegetarian dinner. It makes me so happy seeing my family embrace my lifestyle and incorporate it into their lives as well. It was delicious, she even used some of my recipes.
Santa Claus came to our house on Christmas Eve and the kids had so much fun opening all their gifts on Christmas morning. Hannah got EVERYTHING she wanted….her exact words. :) Liam was so excited he got a new bike. He wanted to ride it in the house when he first opened it…Santa wasn’t feeling that generous though. He ended up spending all afternoon riding it up and down our street.
It was a great Christmas full of fun with our families and friends, so today is a much deserved day of relaxation for me. Between the kid’s schedules, running around and spending as much time with them as I could, working at the restaurant, and keeping my house in order, I definitely deserve this.
Hope you had a great Christmas and take some time to relax.
