We dressed up in our very best to eat the very best food and it was all about fitting into some ideal "Christmas card" scene. When it was my first Christmas in England with my husband, I made a big fuss about getting the right clothes etc etc and my husband kept shaking his head in confusion. He couldn't work out why I needed a fancy outfit and why I was insisting my then 7 year old daughter should be dressed in a very uncomfortable wool kilt. All became clear on Christmas day when the family gathered and everyone was in jeans. It was comfortable, laid back and I was over dressed like a stuffed turkey! I'm happy to say that was the last Christmas with the pinchy Christmas clothes and I've learned how to relax and just enjoy a day with family and laughter...that's what it's all about!Sew Create It - Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11042708937494415876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8631126949164443203.post-86657498889282467082010-12-18T21:29:34.124-06:002010-12-18T21:29:34.124-06:00Thankfully, our Christmas traditions don't inc...Thankfully, our Christmas traditions don't include too much frantic-ness. It's the soap business that does. Today was my last Open House (I think), and I'm looking forward to putting everything away for awhile. :) Merry Christmas, Autumn!Amy Wardenhttp://www.greatcakessoapworks.com/handmade-soap-blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8631126949164443203.post-18887363790987069262010-12-18T10:59:03.691-06:002010-12-18T10:59:03.691-06:00Excellent post, Autumn!Excellent post, Autumn!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8631126949164443203.post-66462475042155166472010-12-18T09:27:23.285-06:002010-12-18T09:27:23.285-06:00Well said, dear friend.Well said, dear friend.Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00349785408418170356noreply@blogger.com
