Yesterday, was so busy I didn’t do my list. We celebrated with my husband’s parents and then my mom came over and spent the night so she could be here Christmas morning. Writing this list was really nice because I got to stop and really appreciate every little thing I received, some of which I had already almost forgotten about but brought me great joy to remember.
- Lilian, Laurie, Jackie and Kate making a gratitude list and sending it to me today.
- almond milk soap
- a Caribou gift card
- a pink nail file on a circular soap lift
- fancy chocolates
- a glass refillable hand soap bottle
- 3 foaming handsoap tablet wrapped in paper- Iris Agave, Perrine Lemon, and Lavender Eucalyptus
- Seaweed and Sea Salt Body Butter
- soft and cozy beige and fuzzy white pajamas
- wrapping cristmas presents with my husband
- while my mom is at her zoom Christmas Eve church service in the kitchen
- hearing her sing, “Oh Come All Ye Faithful.”
- watching Noelle with my kids and my mom
- while my husband made pizza with sourdough crust for dinner
- coming home to find Lefse, Norwegian cake, and a beautiful card from a neighbor
- a card dropped off from a different neighbor and given to my husband
- while he was shoveling the snow
- a mom, who I taught when she was in third grade fifteen years ago and whose First grade son I teach now, that texted me and asked if she could bring a gift to my home
- another mom that sent me a message on WhatsApp wishing me a “Feliz Navidad”
- taking turns reading pages of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas like we do every Christmas Eve.
