Well I hope you are all enjoying the home stretch this week as you prepare to open your homes and/or drive to loved ones for Christmas. Mine is rather full with my daughter’s 12th birthday on the 21st! Great timing I know. Yet the having the day dedicated to her away from Christmas planning and banter, is not only imperative to the success of her birthday, but oh so needed for me.
The most important part of this week for me is taking a few hours out of my busy schedule to smell the roses with my family and friends. Before the hype of the big day consumes your every minute, make time to just sit and enjoy a quiet meal with those you love. Chat about Christmases past and all the great things that have happened, hilarious things that have gone wrong and the irreplaceable moments that took your breath away.
It’s the perfect way to unwind and recharge your batteries before Christmas is in full swing.
For those of us that have children, having them see us take time to relax and focus on them rather than the stuffing ingredients will make their Christmas that much more memorable. For us singles, have a couple of close friends over and do the same.
To do:
• Buy remaining gifts.
• Have a relaxed family dinner ‘alfresco’ and enjoy!
• Finish wrapping final few gifts.
• Go to Carols by Candlelight with your family.
To buy this week:
Fruit
Vegetables
Salads
Bread
Dairy Products (milk, cream, custard, ice cream, cheeses)
Eggs
Bacon
Stuffing ingredients
Juice x 2
Pavlova
Dips
From all of us at the familyroom, have a fabulous week and a very Merry Christmas. Keep visiting us over the holidays as we will be posting more great ideas to keep your family and friends entertained and connected.
