And we all go to one house on one day.We've made it more of a point to just spend time with the people that are special and important to us through out the year, not just trying to cram it all in in a few short days in December.This plan might not work for everyone, but it's worth a try. Anyway, with all the commercialization of Christmas, we feel it's more important to remember why we celebrate it!<BR/>Hope everyone has a wonderful, smoke free, and hopefully stress free holiday season.<BR/>MaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2960321576093220059.post-8195357264155937912007-12-24T19:30:00.000-06:002007-12-24T19:30:00.000-06:00Peace to you too Diva.

Fortunatly, I have been clean and sober from the "other" stress relievers for many years which is why I think kicking the final nicotine habit has been so hard to do. I also realized that I needed to do things differnetly tbis year and REDUCE stress instead of coping with it. I have not been to the mall this Christmas season and bought a few handcrafted sentimental type of gifts for close friends and family. I did not go into credit card debt doing it. I am giving you a big high five for your "Downsizing Christmas" blog! Have a great holiday with your family and thanks for all the support you give people. Thats a gift you can't put a price on.<BR/>Peace,<BR/>DivaMz Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14778043076619087809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2960321576093220059.post-79869357621584782742007-12-24T10:30:00.000-06:002007-12-24T10:30:00.000-06:00Ha!
