Holiday Tradition Help

December 18, 2010

[via] With Christmas just a week away I’ve been finishing my shopping and sending out my cards. But I’ve been spending so much time and focus on work that it all feels a bit rushed. I was thinking the other day that it’s time for David and I to come up with some traditions for our own little family; some things that will be set in place ahead of time to help us remember and enjoy the holidays. My family growing up wasn’t completely steeped in tradition, but we had some, most of which we still adhere to today. They are: Having Christmas lists prepared and distributed by Thanksgiving Going shopping with my dad Attending Christmas Eve church service Starting…

Reverb10: Wisdom

December 12, 2010

What was the wisest decision you made this year, and how did it play out? The wisest decision I made was kind of a group of decisions, but it all added up to me making changes and stepping back.
