🎄 THURSDAY 🎄 I remember last year as Christmas Day was approaching, someone was asking here on IG: "How can I make sure Christmas is not so overwhelming and stressful?" You want to know the most common response? ➡️ PLAN AHEAD.
There's certain things like menus, Christmas cards and certain gift ideas (especially when ordering online and you need that shipping delivery window) that take time and planning ahead will save you time, money and hassle. •
➡️ Tomorrow I'm going to share something that will help you plan ahead and make this Christmas season easier for you and your family. The plans, activities and fun is all part of the Christmas magic, but along with that it's important to slow down and remember the true meaning of this special season. It's not about having no room for spontaneity, it's giving yourself room to breathe and taking it all in without that long to-do list playing in the back of your mind. .

🎄 MANTEL REVEAL MONDAY 🎄 It's officially December and my goal for this month is to be present and not preoccupied, thankful and not stressed. It won't be perfect but I know I don't want the hustle of the season to diminish the true meaning of Christmas. Like these signs say, I want to live it out too: •
🎇 Jesus is the reason for the season. •
✨ This Home Believes. (Loooove that phrase). •
This is also why I plan ahead with decorating and shopping. I want to enjoy the process, I love browsing the mall and small shops, but I know the last thing I'd enjoy is doing that the last week before Christmas and being stressed to the max - I went to the mall one year on December 23rd and let me say, NEVER.AGAIN.
•
Obviously we are all different and none of us do things the same way, but this is what works best for my husband and I. We also have 5 gatherings plus work parties so, all the plans and lists please. I love it. Do you plan ahead or go with the flow? .

🎄 FRIDAY 🎄Cleaning by day, decking the halls and sipping coffee by night. 😂 Most of you know that I clean at a Christian college and you wanna know a reason I love winter? Because the ground is frozen enough to stop tracking in all the dirt and mud. They did spread sand however, so I swept up about five pounds worth of that stuff today. 🤯
•
Instead of lamenting the dirty floors after just cleaning them, I say: "I did my best. I'm doing my part to keep this operation going." That is not to brag but simply to take ownership of the fact that no matter where I am, my role matters. AS DOES YOURS. Even if society has an invisible marker for what's deemed significant, thank God He doesn't work that way. Wherever you are today, whatever you're doing or dealing with, know that you are valued and seen by a God who created YOU. .

🎄 WEDNESDAY 🎄 I'm loving this flocked garland I picked up while we were in Grand Forks earlier this month. I'll never understand why here in Canada we don't get these cool products, but it sure makes it a novelty to go across the border and explore. I love how it completes this space. Bonus? I added some twinkle lights to the garland and it is so cozy and magical. 😍 .
