Unrealistic expectations of a wonderful Christmas dinner, all freshly prepared, children playing, and smiling with their new toys ........ The reality is usually very different, and should still be appreciated and enjoyed, in my view, but it's all to easy to feel stressed, undue pressure and eve that you have failed. Actually, I love Christmas, but my expectations of myself have got less over the years - I know that I will burn something, or forget to cook something! :) Have a great weekend. xSaraJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18090894669938775044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4601053108654305583.post-65396853701758250272014-12-13T02:32:50.602-08:002014-12-13T02:32:50.602-08:00I so agree with your comment on Cosy Toes blog abo...I so agree with your comment on Cosy Toes blog about the pressure to make Christmas perfect. For many people, it just isn't this time of jollity and happy families, and even for those who project this image, often there are flaws, upsets, disagreements put aside for just the one day when they can all play happy families. And of course, there are those who have nobody to share it with. I tend to think life would be awfully boring if it were perfect, even for some of the time! What would we have to moan about?<br />Love your cat, and like the previous comment, I thought she was a kitten too.

Life ...Lovely frosty photos Sara and very seasonal. Life is pretty hectic around here too. Generally I'm quite an organised person but somehow Christmas preparations and all the paraphernalia around it just blow me away. Love all the hustle and bustle though. Talking about lists, I've been known to do a chore and add it to my list just so I can cross it off - how sad is that! Your card should be winging its way over to you during the next few days by the way. :)) P xPatriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116574112768767203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4601053108654305583.post-8659775940999182432014-12-08T00:31:10.193-08:002014-12-08T00:31:10.193-08:00I love your icy photos !!! very good idea from you...I love your icy photos !!! very good idea from you get your camera only at this time !!!!

I hope that the boiler is working again and that you have hot water again. The sun is trying to come through here, so I hope that it stays and that it is on the way to you if it isn't there already. It was a lovely sunny day yesterday - that we spent driving!! At least it made the driving easier. xxAmy at love made my homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111180584250029433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4601053108654305583.post-17184423819548689432014-12-07T02:47:46.605-08:002014-12-07T02:47:46.605-08:00I've managed to get a few things off my list b...I've managed to get a few things off my list but no sooner have I checked them off than something else appears!

I don't want to start getting organised so early that I'm done by October, but on the other hand, I think a little more early organisation this year would have been beneficial!
