I love the feeling of Christmas… I love that there is snow outside and I am warm inside. My Christmas wish is that I can get through all of my year end work and get the cards out and the shopping done SOON so that I can enjoy my family and play games, and relax together. My favorite is to do a puzzle together by the fire.

My husband and I are not exchanging gifts for one another this year, and are only focusing on our two wonderful children. We are taking a trip over Christmas to Colorado for some relaxation and pure “family time.” For Christmas, I would like for my husband to step away from this volatile financial world we are in right now, and see him unstressed and worry-free, if only for 6 days.
As for goals in 2009? There are many I have made for myself, some small but very significant to me. Organizing our home office is my goal for January. I will fill you in on more personal goals at the top of the New Year! I love what you are doing Kristin. Great job!

I just sat down to post about how much I love your site, and lo and behold, my oldest son just cam downstairs crying that his ear hurts. A mother’s work is never done and there are very few times during the day when there is an actual break. Though I have yet to have an ispired idea and follow it thru, you do inspire me to be the best mom that I can. Thank you for your tips and words of wisdom. Thank you most of all for the sense of humor you bring to your blog.

I love your website, Kris! This year I would love to receive something handmade from each of my children (a card, little art project, anything their sweet hands and minds create), and a handwritten card from my husband…..and a stainless toaster!

I don’t have kids now, but my husband and I are working on it. My friend Athena turned me on to this website and I think its wonderful. I feel any advice is good advice and I’m going to need all the advice I need. My Christmas wish this year is that those who are struggling with this economy are taken care of and find new hope in places they never saw it before.

Kristin, your monthly stories and readers’ comments keep me inspired while working to reach my own social, recreational, cultural and spiritual goals. Last year I attempted to make my family more eco-friendly and when you commented about the ridiculous number of catalogs you have been receiving I wanted to pass along a little tip (or should I say this is my Christmas wish)…there are websites like http://www.catalogchoice.org or click on the “privacy” link found on most company websites to help “stop” the waste!
Enjoy this festive season!

First of all, I love reading this each month! For my wish list, I think I would love to sleep in one morning, hear the sounds of my children playing in the other room, and a big steaming cup latte! And perhaps a little bling in the sugar jar!!! But seriously, I wish for us all to have a few moments to appreciate the holidays and our family- we all know it goes by too fast and things and moments get lost.
Happy holidays!

Christmas is so fun with kids. I just love seeing them excited. That’s all I need!

My wish for the season is to be able to ENJOY it without fuss and frenzy!!! My kids are growing too fast and it is too easy to forget why we love Christmas so much. I want to inspire my kids to love the traditions that not only our parents have brought us up on but also the new ones our family has created so they can pass them onto their families. Thanks Shan for passing on!!!
