Hey guys! Happy December…the countdown is on until Christmas! I hope you are gearing up for the holiday season!
Quick check in time…How are you doing? Got everything wrapped? Checking off all those holiday traditions? Feeling overwhelmed with everything you still have to do? Weāve all been thereā¦while it may seem like this season will never end, it will. In the meantime, enjoy every moment and soak up all the moments, the big ones (like decorating the tree) or the little ones like looking at Christmas lights.
Onto todayās post, can you believe that we are up to two years of Currently?! This has been such a fun monthly post, not only does it keep you updated on my life but it also puts in perspective everything Iāve done in 30 days or soā¦without further ado, hereās this monthās Currently.
What Iām up to: ALL the Christmas fun and cheer. From skating, to watching Christmas movies, listening to Christmas music at every opportunity, baking cookies and shopping and wrapping this month has been about enjoying all the Christmas fun!
What Iām wearing: Besides work clothes, Iāve been getting in the Christmas spirit by wearing Christmas sweaters, some cute graphic shirts and of course, Christmas socks!!! I canāt get enough of Christmas socks!
What Iām reading: I finished reading āAll the Light We Cannot Seeā, it was definitely a heavier read but it was so well done. This month I have been reading all the Christmas books. I read “A Shoe Addictās Christmas”, which was super cute. I then read “Pride and Prejudice and Mistletoe”, this was the perfect mix of Christmas and a beautiful tribute to Jane Austen. Iām currently reading “The Mistletoe Secret” by Richard Paul Evans, I read his series, āThe Walkā during the pandemic and loved it, so Iām very excited to read this one too.
What Iām Watching:Ā Besides watching classic Christmas movies and some Hallmark ones too.Ā Ā I have also been watching Selling Sunset on Netflix and like many other women out there, Iāve been watching āAnd Just Like Thatāā¦the first two episodes were so beautiful and so poignant, but broke my heart. I canāt wait to see what else this season has in store. If you have watched them, what are your thoughts on the shows?
What Iām Loving:Ā Christmas spirit all day, every day! I love this time of year, thereās nothing better than having a candle lit, while wrapping presents and watching Christmas presents. Plus, making treats hasnāt been bad either. I made some Christmas bark this year and it was so good. Itās super easy to make and itsās easy to save and store. Hereās the recipe I used, thank you Mix and Match Mama!
What Inspires Me:Ā The holiday season puts me in the best mood. I decorated my room at the end of last month and whenever I put on my tree and light a candle, Iām automatically put in the Christmas spirit. I also canāt wait to spend time with family and continue our holiday traditions.Ā I went skating this month and had the best time.
What I accomplished: Iāve been doing a great job at being intentional and present during the holiday season. From the gift buying to the family time and holiday traditions. I wish this season was longer. Even enjoying a hot coco and cookie while driving back from ice skating made me so happy.
Goals Accomplished from Last Month I got all my Christmas shopping done by my deadline and I got almost all my gifts sent out or wrapped. It was a huge accomplishment! I love all the gift giving but it can be a lot to get everything organized. I donāt know how parents do it, they are the real super heroes during the holiday season!
Goals for the New Month:Ā Ā Kick off 2022 with my New Yearās Resolutions. I also canāt wait to break out my new Simplified planner and start getting ready for the next. As much as I hate to see the holidays come to an end, thereās nothing quite like a fresh start.
Thatās a look into my life this past month, lots of holiday fun and traditions. How are you spending the last few weeks of this year?
