The holiday planning and preparation began this weekend.
I want the holidays to be a special time for family and friends to get together, catch up, and celebrate.
The first job in this regard is preparing the home. The size of our home is much smaller than the size of our extended family so it's always a matter of clearing shelves, hallways, and rooms to make space for many family members of all ages.
Then it's a matter of making sure you have enough glasses, plates, and silverware for everyone. After that time to prepare good food for all all.
Every year the holidays present themselves in different ways. This year the focus is on home--creating a welcoming home that our children, friends, and relatives enjoy coming to, a place where they feel relaxed and at peace.
