Intentional Christmas

This year has been about making do and being flexible. The entire world has been turned on its head. So many things have been taken out of our control. Some countries are now in their second wave and back in shutdown for this pandemic. We have no control over going to work, staying home, visiting or life in general in many cases.

The rest of the year and upcoming holidays are going to happen pandemic or not. I want to at least make the most of what I can. I also want to take back some control and for me that is focusing on what I can do.  2020 will go down in history as the year we pulled together or not.

I thought I’d gain some control by focusing on what I can be doing for the holidays. I want to enjoy what I can and not be overwhelmed. That means creating a plan. Making a list and checking it twice (hmm….that sounds familiar)!  This will also give me a sense of accomplishment as I check items off my list. Again, focusing on what I can control and do during this unsettled, to say the least, time.

My list is not all encompassing. It is what I want to tackle and get done in a timely fashion. I’m including my list here in case you want a bit of focus and help to keep you on track.  The majority of items are small things we often forget until the last minute.

Drop a line in the comments if you think of anything we should be adding to the list. We can make this holiday season the best we can if we focus on what we can control and make the most of what we have around us.

We have this!

Holiday list!!
