Happy New Year to you! The doll is amazing. So, is the cake. My daughter had a unicorn birthday this year.

I love that your son loves pink unicorns and a doll. And the simplicity of the presents. Way better than MQ getting tons of stuff she didn’t need at a big Bday party.

and being happy is a lovely goal. good luck. i would like to be less stressed. which I think would make me happier. maybe.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I haven’t made any progress on my goal to start learning to knit. Maybe this year, but I can’t envision when I’ll make the time. Some things never change: time management remains my biggest problem.

My son seems to be very much like yours – he will be turning 5 and I don’t think we will have a party for him (other than the family) unless he changes very much – he generally hides when there is anyone at our house. He was a guest at his very first birthday party earlier this month and I called my husband saying, “I think he might be sick, you’d better come pick us up,” but he was perfectly healthy, just not thrilled by the party.

I’ve nearly finished wrapping all the gifts for all the nieces and nephews who will be here to celebrate on Christmas day, and rearranging the furniture so there is dining space for 19 people. I believe I’m ahead of the game at this point, but I’ve probably forgotten something major AND there are still half of my Christmas cards sitting on the floor behind me, needing to be signed and pictures of the kids put in.

I hope your Christmas celebration is just as wonderful as it sounds like it will be. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

I had a crummy year, but I’m happy.
My son’s birthday is RIGHT AFTER CHRISTMAS. Nobody feels like having a party right after Christmas – no one! I think we’re going to take him to a nearby city overnight and to the movies and so on. It’ll be fun.
Merry Christmas!

A friend of mine’s son also has a birthday near Christmas. They have a tradition of celebrating his birthday with his friends six months later.

Do wish you all the best in your pursuit of happiness. An honourable endeavour indeed. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
