Christmas seems to be getting bigger every year. Music starts earlier, Santa arrives first day of December in the mall, and we race around looking for the perfect gift for our loved ones. I was a zombie today wandering in and out of stores. I came across a entire section of plates glasses, silverware and serving dishes with Santas face on them. It is one dinner a year, and now I require special seasonal kitcenware? As I was digging through my Christmas box, I found a quote from last year and it sums up what we all need to give ourselves instead of large credit card bills in January:
“Simply wrapped is forgiveness, a gift that allows me to let go of my past mistakes, and give myself permission to make new mistakes everyday. This I give myself so I can learn that perfection is but a dream. I am not, nor do I need to strive to be perfect”
So put down the Santa plates, forgive yourself if your Christmas dinner table is not out of a Martha Stewart magazine and enjoy the true meaning of the season on your old dishes.
