Hello,
An intense period is coming: btw, it has already started with the thrill of the arrival of Santa!
At home the excitement is +++: they wake up early in the morning just to open the Advent calendar, come back from school thoroughly too … Do you also do this tradition of the calendar Advent?
It helps my kids to wait: for my “little elf” it helps to get his bearings in the time and wait until Christmas night ?????. And my princess, she likes but now she is a little big for that ?: she even forgets to look at her little present of the day !!! ?
These last 2 weeks have been intense between the quest for gifts, find Christmas recipes, prepare Christmas cards and professor‘s gifts, meet Santa (it’s magic but very very stressful?)…But also enjoy a moment with friends before the holiday « tsunami»: a coffee with friends, a shopping session with friends !!! And also enjoy to pamper yourself a little: haircut, pimp my nails !!!!
I think these moments are important for us even more before the holidays when the children are at home all day ?? !!!!
These holidays are particularly intense as it is Christmas, New Year’s Eve: holidays, excitement, a good meal, sometimes party with a lot of people … A lot of stimuli, stress for our children / our atypical spouses?! For us too, because often we have to manage the whole organization, and in addition, we manage the after-party, the after-excitement: ??
To us this year, it will be only in family (my daughter, my son, my husband and me) for Xmas like for several years: we love it!
Enjoying this moment just between us! It’s a little selfish for our families, but we need these privileged moments of happiness just for us! Also, it’s quieter so we enjoy more: see the stars in the eyes of our kids it’s wonderful????
But for New Year’s Eve, we make it regularly with friends, in small committee: this year it will be with a friend and her little family!
A good moment to share good foods, a lot of fun ahead but always the same in a reassuring and calm atmosphere for my kids/spouse!!!?
And you, do you have plan something?
Same than us: do you adapt your CHRISTMAS/NEW YEAR’S EVE to your particularities??
To end this article, I want to wish to all of you (you, your spouses and your children) a very nice Christmas holidays with a lot of moments of pure happiness in the respect of your atypical / your atypical nature ?? ?? !!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR
And I take this opportunity to thank you for being always there, to support me in my projects, my articles !!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU…
1 … 2 … 3 … Let’s share (Yule log, turkey with chestnuts, a delicious glass of wine and most importantly happiness????) !!!! ????
