This comes with love and doesn't break the tight budget that has now become my life! Gigi we can make Christmas wonderful without cost and it is so good to be back in the blog world I now have a new blog called onepinkchair.blogspot.com if you care to visit once again. xx JulienneJuleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12951295463270151861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-14232180708735078242011-12-07T00:19:41.121-05:002011-12-07T00:19:41.121-05:00I love your candor, Gigi.

This is the first Christmas in years that I have actually enjoyed so far. And the reason for it is just that: because I have focused on appreciating the breaths that I take, my kiddos, and trying to notice every beautiful thing about the season whether it belongs to nature, me or someone else, and taking the long nights as an opportunity to get cozy with my family.<br /><br />I tell you-- something about your way with words takes my guard down, & I find myself leaving comments here that I hardly say out loud. Your blog has become a little friendly haven to me, I guess. So thanks. :)<br /><br />-KeriIvy Cladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03307765640404949525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-82445037952194167342011-12-05T20:10:21.117-05:002011-12-05T20:10:21.117-05:00The expectations surrounding the winter holidays c...<i>The expectations surrounding the winter holidays can just be too much to bear, especially during tough economic times. This year, some of my friends have been counting their blessings each day on their blogs or on Facebook.</i><br /><br />Yes, exactly. The holiday season shouldn't be about materialism or pressure to buy expensive gifts or a competition to see who has the most lavish decorations or successful parties. You're alive. There are people and things you love in your life. There's a lot of beauty in the world. <br /><br />I hope you have a joyous holiday season.HKatzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17653570160517335758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-85650865082051190452011-12-05T19:51:10.854-05:002011-12-05T19:51:10.854-05:00I am sure that, by now, your paper whites are abou...I am sure that, by now, your paper whites are about to bloom and will give you so much pleasure for not a lot of money Gigi. As they say.....the best things in life are free and I think that is very true.<br />We should all count our blessings, as most of us are far better off than many and, even if times are a little tough or things are not going our way, we are still better off than a lot of people.<br />Here's to enjoying the beautiful things that are around us and to not worrying about the materialistic ones.

I also am including many lights in my house to help with the cheer aspect. Love, love, love paper whites - I took a vase of them to my aunt as she needed something to enjoy in her retirement center. We have two more vases just starting to bloom in our house and they are pure delight.Marilyn Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115440271615593122noreply@blogger.com
