I love the holidays. I love decorating the house, cooking the foods, enjoying friends and family, being on my own schedule. BUT strangely I also love the day we take down the tree, put away the decorations, get rid of whatever is left of cookies and rich food and prepare to return to normalcy. Today was that day.With everyone helping we had it done by early afternoon.
We have had a wonderful Christmas break, prolonged for me by all the snow before Christmas, but this evening I am craving my routine, looking forward to getting back to the TLC! kitchen, back on a saner eating plan, back to some regular exercise and back out of my "fat pants". ( Celebratory foods are a wonderful aspect of food traditions, and my family embraces them...I think the problem for me is that the celebration goes on a little too long.)
So back to school tomorrow. I will bet the kids are ready and I know the parents are. ( I remember. ) Looks like we have several days of more moderate temperatures ahead and some sun. What a great way to start the year.

I am so pleased to find out that you have a blog. I didn't know this. I didn't decorate this year and it felt so odd. Still really got into the spirit though with music. Stopped indulging in Christmas treats today. I noticed I kept returning to my stretchy pants...not a good sign.
