But I've been busy with the following:
I've been shopping and wrapping gifts for Christmas, which IS NOT the whole focus of this season. I've been trying to get away from that. I think we buy gifts for eachother in rememberance of the first gifts given at Christmas which were for Jesus from the three wisemen. They knew already that he would be a king and not just a baby.
I've been making cards and today is hopefully the day they'll be in the mail. This also isn't the reason for the season, but a good time to wish eachother well and since it's the end of the year a great chance to update eachother on what we've been up to.
Of course always busy with the munchkin who wil be 6 MONTHS OLD tomorrow!!
I've been baking up a storm. I made 4 batches of cinnamon sledges, 2 batches of frango mints, 2 batches of poppycock, 2 batches of whipped shortbread, and I'm still going
unfortunatly I've also been busy eating all the baking which is why I've had to keep baking and baking and baking!
and yes I've also been sick, waaa I HATE being sick! I was so extremly tired the first few days and didn't do anything at all. Feeling better everday now.
So yes I'm definitly in a much better mood than last you all heard from me. I'm trying to not base my self worth on what I do. It really doesn't define who I am! I am the daughter of the King who was born thousands of years ago and he came to this world so he could save me! Thats what really matters. Merry early Christmas everyone, remember the true reason for the season, and if you don't know the true reason, maybe this is the year to find out!
