A good, no. A GREAT holiday.

I hope everyone had an amazing, beautifully wonderful Christmas. It's day 4 of my Christmas stay-cation and I have to say it's been a great week/end. Between the holiday hustle and bustle I found peace and quiet to enjoy crocheting and cross off items on my holiday bucket list.

1. Send Christmas cards.

2. See my Grandparents.

3. Make handmade gifts.

4. Donate time.

5. Be happy and healthy.

I came pretty close to completing the list. I am just a little bit frustrated that I wasn't able to donate time. I was invited to a nursing home to bring cookies and paint the nails of elderly ladies, but the timing didn't work out. I wish I would've been able to go.

However, I am rather satisfied with the things I did accomplished. Next year I plan on sending out more Christmas cards, especially if I am able to get them at a good price like I did this year. I will also make sure that R helps me with my list of recipients. In all the rush to get the greetings addressed  I missed a couple people that he wanted to send cards to. :( I'll do a better job next year.

#2 was the best part of my whole holiday! Spending time with my grandparents and parents, with my family by my side. I realized that my grandpa gives the best hugs. We didn't stay long but just to see my Grandpa and Grandma for awhile was wonderful. I have to say this was the best gift of the season.

Also, I completed all of my handmade gifts just in time this year. I think this year I need to start crafting in July so that I am not painting and crocheting at 11pm on Christmas Eve. But, everyone loved their gifts and I really enjoyed seeing the smiles on their faces when they opened them, which makes it all worth it.

Be happy and healthy. I'm thankful to say we are all happy and healthy (minus E's runny nose)!

Once again, I hope everyone had a great holiday. See you next year. 2015 is just around the corner.

Keep Loving.
