Christmas wishes and winter blues

When you find it hard to get in the spirit of Christmas, what do you do? Are there any go-to things you know will jump kick your nostalgia and wishes for a Merry Christmas? This year I barely put up the Christmas tree, it has lights, balls and a star on top, I left about a hundred little ornaments in boxes. We are working a lot this season, happy to have the blessings and finding little moments of joy.

Some things that do it for me are seeing the lights at Silver Dollar City, seeing the people there, the sounds the songs the smiles and good cheer (sounds like a rhyme). We haven't gone as a family this year but I see them going to work when I take the time to look. What a beautiful site too.

Children singing.... in a choir setting, now that will take me down in a second, to smiles, goose bumps and tears. Best in person but this might help.

Making fudge to Christmas music, that's another one that usually does me in, it didn't this year but I did make some!

Sometimes the snow if we are lucky enough to get some, and we have this year, will make me feel like holidays and good old fashioned SNOW DAYS. Loved those as a kid.


So far I am beating the Winter Blues with a blue light, my new gadget this winter, well actually it came as a gift in the spring but it is best for winter time. I think it is very interesting and fun and I feel something that is for sure, definitely seem more cheery this year. I maybe channeling Walt from Northern Exposure though, because I rigged my light bar to sit on my sun visor instead of the computer. I like it, I really like it and I am thinking so fast and have so many great ideas! :) If you have no idea what I am referring to, sorry, you have missed out on a great show and I am showing my age.



Whatever it takes, that is my motto, when it comes to finding some moments of meaning in Life. Be real, be honest and be grateful for what you have. Most of us are truly blessed.
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!
