I am enjoying the time off too. I have a nice, round xmas belly to boot!
My house is a complete pigsty though and I think I can put up with it a little longer.:lol:

This year my hubby & I didn't do anything for xmas, no shopping , no decorating, nuthin'. I just got back to work from having carpal tunnel surgery & moving in a few weeks so we never got in the mood this year. Sad, I know, I really LOVE xmas but just let it pass this time..*sigh* I hope y'all enjoyed urs though!:hug:

Ordinarily, I LOVE Christmas.
But this year has been riddled with pitfalls... and with my clientel having grown from last years.. I've been rather overwhelmed.
I never succeeded in getting any baking done (I've had MANY complaints on that score). I didn't put up even half the decorations I usually do. I did not wrap gifts as nicely (they were rather slapped together, as long as the paper stayed on, we were good to go) and they lacked the personal touches I usually add. I haven't seen half the people I usually see, nor done half the activities I usually do with my children.. In general, it's been a dissappointing season for me.
I'll be glad to see the back-end of it, to move on into the new year.
On a good note... my children are happy and healthy and that's ALL that's important to me.
I'm looking forward to a new year of adventures, learning processes (business wise) and happier times.
Giant hugs to all of you and hoping for a lovely new 2010

I hear ya, sister!! LOL:lol:
Don't get me wrong, I'm pleased as punch that my business has grown. All my hard work, sweat, blood and tears are paying off. But I'm at that in-between stage where I NEED to hire help for around the house and with the kids but can't yet afford to.... :cry: so the fatigue took a lot of the 'joy' out of things because I couldn't enjoy them fully. And this winter has been milder than usual, so damper.. so my Raynauds is kicking me in the teeth blah humbug LOL
It's been a challenging year, to say the least.
Looking forward to an easier one. (fingers crossed LOL)

Tis the season to go low-carb
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Can't fit in my pre-Christmas garb
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Don we now our fat apparel
Fa la la, la la la, la la la
Now that we're shaped like a barrel
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Run for miles, I don't lose one gram
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Christmas overwhelms the program
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Breads and sweets, you're gone today
Fa la la, la la la, la la la
Maybe see you Easter Sunday?
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Fat is melting, hallelujah
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Doctor Atkins, a toast to ya
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Meat and wine and salad - clever!
Fa la la, la la la, la la la
I should eat this way forever

I've had a relaxing chilled christmas and feel quite rested. Like Bagpuss, I had to go in on tuesday for a full day but am off until Tuesday next week so its kind of stopped "cabin fever" kick in.
Am looking forward to a few more guilt-free days where I can drink baileys, eat thorntons and cake and laze around in PJ's until mid morning.
Then, wahooooo! Back to work.
Mr Chick was restless yesterday, was finding jobs to do around the place so I sent him out to look for a car for me.
Just got a party tonight around a neighbours and then few more chill days. Now, if it was 28 degrees I think I would enjoy it even more!
