I'm sorry you were feeling crappy, but like us, soaked in the family time-sick or not.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133112426691403173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-92210114104125493382010-12-29T12:49:19.783-07:002010-12-29T12:49:19.783-07:00I'm glad to hear that there were some nice mem...I'm glad to hear that there were some nice memories created this Christmas. I was a little nervous after reading the first few lines of your post. Sorry to hear that you weren't feeling well, though. The kids and T were all sick in the days leading up to Christmas, and we ended up having to cancel our Christmas Eve plans with the in-laws. <br /><br />I think the go with the flow lesson applies to everyone (extended family included). The more expectations you have about how things should go, the more disappointed you're bound to end up. Christmas can be so magical if we just let it happen in a natural way. But I also need to learn to go with the flow when bossy relatives try to dictate how it's going to be. Even if it's not the way I would prefer to do it.Renaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08318311170413043717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-48435019616063972412010-12-28T14:49:49.702-07:002010-12-28T14:49:49.702-07:00Bike Christmases are always special.

It's just nice to know you can let down for a few minutes and he'll keep things going.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-56031898441951958472010-12-27T15:50:06.861-07:002010-12-27T15:50:06.861-07:00I think we all put so much unnecessary pressure on...I think we all put so much unnecessary pressure on ourselves (and sometimes others) to make the holidays "just right." That's hard to live up to when you have no children and live in excellent financial condition, much less when you have a family that you may be trying to do more with less for. It sounds like you have a wonderful positive outlook and I'm so glad that overall you had a nice holiday! Glad you are feeling better too!!Holly Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13616777037036202935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-35781663266370415802010-12-27T13:29:51.354-07:002010-12-27T13:29:51.354-07:00I'm sorry you were sick!
