Heading into the Holiday Season...

Are you ready?  Are you ready for the holiday season?  It will soon be upon us as the fall/Halloween/Thanksgiving/Christmas decor, recipes, etc. are in stores now and filling the internet.  Are you getting prepared?  Are you excited?  Are you dreading it?  Are you anxiously awaiting all the festivities and magic of the season?  Or are you ready for it to pass and for the new year to help restart you life anew once again?

Whatever you think of the holiday season it will be here before you know it and whether you're prepared or not for all the parties, presents, decorations, lights, snow, etc. it will either bring you great cheer or great stress.  Is there too much pressure during the holidays?  To host the perfect party, to buy the perfect party dress, to buy the perfect presents, to participate in all the holiday festivities, to build the biggest snowman, to act like the perfect mate, or to bake the best holiday feast?  Is it too much?  Are there too many expectations during the holidays?  Probably.

But, like anything it is what you make of it.  If you want wild and crazy with activities every night then go for it!  If you want calm and quiet with fireplaces, hot chocolate and home videos then go for it!  If you want a mix of both then do that!  It's really up to you to plan your "perfect" holiday.  And yes, it's never too early to start planning, so....

So, enjoy the next few weeks of falling into Fall with a leisurely pace before the madness of the holidays hit!  Enjoy the cooler weather blowing in, enjoy the pumpkin spice everything (lattes, muffins, cookies, bread, etc) that will hit your palate, and enjoy the leaves changing colors that brighten up our landscapes for awhile.  Enjoy Fall!!

Blessings to you as we all prepare for the upcoming holiday season!
