Default Doing what's important and pacing...

Yourself! Some traditions, are just that. Many other decorating stuff, is just STUFF. I make up a bunch of breads in those little tins, wrap them up and freeze them - pulling them out to thaw in time to 'pop' into those gift bags. That way, no one is omitted. Can pace my baking, & clean-up according to how I feel that day.

A small tree [very small], a live wreath is all I do inside plus presents. We each put a list of 'want's' on the fridge and others can pick 'n choose Plus anything else. Wreaths on a window and door is all that's outside. No lights, no other frou frous.

I should be the spirit of the holidays that we show, not the material aspects.

Pain-free moments or even longer to all! - j
