I just love this time of year...it's full of so many wonderful & warm family traditions! I do admit i've allowed myself to become so easily overwhelmed & quickly stressed this year to the point that I have dreaded every holiday that i have woken up to; not to mention the fact that i have aged yet another year. One tradition is on "Black Friday" we put up our outside Christmas decorations. (Brief History.. our first 2yrs of marriage I thought i'd convinced my "Educated" Husband that this was a great day for "shopping savings", I was Wrong, never convinced him. He convinced me that this was a great day for "savings" by staying home away from the insane public & spending Quality Family Time accomplishing what would eventually be done anyway, I don't mind. Actually one year I fancied him & Christmas shopped his way: December 24th. Not so bad & true enough there are "shopping savings" this day. That's his personal tradition & sometimes i join him) So with much grumpiness from me we Decorated & I forced myself into the Holiday spirit this year, TIP: 99.9fm plays Christmas music ALL day, this truly helped me!. So I recognized that we ALL HAVE A CHOICE and I CHOOSE to CELEBRATE! Celebrate each new day with a SMILE. (?did u know that this releases Feel Good endorphins!, who doesn't need that) Celebrate my LIFE & Blessings. Celebrate my FAITH & Beliefs. Celebrate my HUSBAND & Children & Pets. Celebrate my FAMILY & Friends. Celebrate PEPSI & Food.

So with that may you all be inspired to CHOOSE to Celebrate everything that you hold dear & LOVE!
