Can I tell you a little story?

Last year, midst the ribbons and bows and Christmas lights and family traditions, I cried on Christmas Day.

It was one of those cries that starts in the back of your throat and you try to swallow it down, but then it just keeps on going until it reaches your eyes and you try to blink it away but instead find yourself running to hide in the bathroom because really…who is allowed to CRY on Christmas Day?!

{Now I think I can give partial credit to the fact that I was 4 months pregnant at the time.  Pregnant women are allowed to cry on Christmas Day.}

But if I’m really being honest, there were two other causes:

1) After SO much time and energy, I felt let down when my boys weren’t as thrilled about a gift as I hoped they would be.  And really… was this rushing from present to present what Christmas was all about?

2) I was exhausted.  Like so many other years, I had spent the past few nights staying up late finishing up last minute wrapping, baking, packing and so on.

I promised myself that this year would be different. 

That’s why I’ve created The Merry Little Christmas Project.  And I’m inviting you to join me.

In the next few days, I will share more details.  But if you would like to join me in my quest to make Christmas more meaningful and less stressful, why not head over and ‘like’ The Merry Little Christmas Project on Facebook right now?  I’ll be over there daily offering tips and resources to help make your Christmas (and mine!) more organized, fit your budget, and well…MERRY…of course. 🙂

This year I want to celebrate Christmas WELL.

Won’t you join me?
