Oh Christmas tree....

 Before the lights and ornaments


The tree is one of my favorite Christmas things.  I miss going and picking out our tree at the tree farm.   When the kids were little we would drive out to the farm and have hot chocolate and begin the search for the perfect tree.  Do you know a tree in a huge field looks so much smaller until you cut it and try to fit it in the house??
The lights that were once put on by Mark are now put on by Mark Stephen.  (not always happy about it, I might add) Even though I feel the need to tell him what branches still need more light he does a great job.
You can see for yourself when I add a pic of the finished product.

Less of this More of that

A more realistic version to resolutions??

  Less                   More    

Late work hours    Home at dinner time

Stress            Relaxation techniques

Wishing            Planning and doing

TV                     Reading             

Processed              Natural

Blackberry               Ipod

Judging              Understanding

I see this as a work in progress.  I can add to it as I see some things I need to do less of and replace it with a better option.

I think I may need to get started on this list.   I will start with Stress since it "tis the season".
