It was all a dream....

Remember JR?

Well, that's just about what the idea of making all my 
Christmas gifts would be like....


High drama....
broken promises....
deception....
out right lies....


There isn't a chance in this here reality 
that I could actually make all those gifts,
much less sew them all.....

Nope...




Nada...
Neyt...
Oh Hell No...

Not happenin'
not even with a glue gun....

But 
a girl can dream can't she?




Sometime,
in a place long ago....
this girl thought she might attempt
"The Martha Perfection Cycle"
but alas...
no.





I have a few talents,
but a perfect Christmas is not in my repetoire.




No, 
Christmas comes with too much emotion,
hopes, dreams, illusions, delusions.....

I simply cannot pull it off.
So... 
I guess I will post some photos
 and pretend
the perfect Christmas event is in the works.




But please do not feel the least bit sorry for me...
I am finally coming to terms with the idea that 
a perfect holiday season is all in one's head.....
that perfection is in the mind of the willing...
that I can have that perfect holiday if I make up my mind
that whatever happens IS perfection...

Difficult you might say,
but is it?

Perhaps it is simply a matter of allowing others to be 
and act just the way they are...
and being in a state of mind, that is willing to accept 
imperfection as being a form of perfection
(ok, my head just about exploded on that one, don't ask for more)

I am willing at this point in time to accept
what comes my way.

Hopefully,
this feeling will last....

  1. When my life blew-up over a decade ago Christmas was tough.

    Never again have I done Christmas pre-explosion. Instead, it's new every year. A sense of adventure, joy shared, grace, filling the spiritual well.

  2. Perfection is being with your family and or those who matter most to you.

  3. What? Expectations? I think not...I gave up on that monogrammed Christmas ribbon a loooong time ago. A very wise woman taught me that. Wink

  4. We're not having Christmas this year - at least not in the normal sense. We're having a tropical Christmas. The whole family. We'll see how it goes. Who knows, maybe we're moving into a new era. My grown children apparently do not want the traditional Christmas, feel it is too commercial, too much of everything, and not enough quality time just being together. After a week all together in a small condo, they may change their minds. :-)

  5. This time of year I am very busy with work, so I don't get into it as much as I did in the past, I'd rather just focus on what's important and enjoy a few simple decorations. xx
