Christmas!
Hello there Gentle Reader,
Well TODAY is THE DAY!!!!!! After weeks of reading about my countdown to Christmas, Santa, and all things sugary, here we are.
It's not totally a green Christmas here in Toronto as there is a light dusting of snow on the ground. So pretty this time of morning.
Every Christmas morning, I think about my friends in the city and around the world and send them endless blessings for the day.
On Christmas Eve, I enjoy a yummy turkey dinner and today will be an encore presentation. Thanks M!! December 26 will see the return of WW and the exercise bike. Christmas dinner will be spent with my parents which is always lovely. This year they have asked for one of my paintings as their Christmas gift. Very touching!
Today I will savour each moment as it will fly by so quickly. I love traveling by train on Christmas Day as everyone is smiling and many are wearing Santa hats. Some carry large serving dishes full of holiday treats. I like sitting close to those people. The happy ones with the food.
Well I didn't find that Christmas sweater but I vow by next year that I will find one AND wear it proudly in 2010! You'll see!
I admit that I have been indulging quite a bit this week but know that as of December 26, I will be back to my regular healthy lifestyle. This is the first holiday season since losing the almost 50 lbs so I knew it would be challenging. This is my favourite FOOD time of the year too (BIG surprise there eh?)
Haven't been listening to much holiday music (other than on 104.5 CHUM FM - thank you!) but have loaded up the ipod with tunes. I'm ready...
Please enjoy your day today no matter if you celebrate Christmas or not. Make this YOUR day to do whatever you'd like.
Sending lots of warm wishes from my home to yours.
We'll catch up tomorrow!
Linda
