Surprise, you (by which I mean me) have slightly high cholesterol! But this elephant (again, me) already suspected that. So that's where the gallows humor and elephant references end (not me, but Agatha Christie).
Yep, the Christmas countdown always sets me on edge, cramming my head full of querulous questions. Will I ever finish wrapping these presents? Did I buy my niece the same Barbie doll two years in a row? Should I put something else outside besides my paltry palm tree? Basically, it all amounts to, did I do enough? And the answer is usually no.
But it shouldn't be. Because the holidays are hard, and anything anyone does should suffice.
So this year, which is our first with Char Bar, I'm going to try to give myself the gift of a break. Strangely, it's a gift that everyone always tries to give me but that I have trouble accepting. And if there's anything I should teach my daughter, then it's that she should give herself this gift too.
That and Christmas comic relief that comes in the form of a tee shirt.

Oh, such a great Christmas post! LOVE THE TEE! You really know how to deck the HALLS! Yes, Christmas stress always worries me. I have a lot of those feelings too. And then those parties with lots of tempting foods! It can be a vicious circle. But I am so happy to see your inspiring message and your amazing wardrobe!
Thank you so much for reading the short story. Thanks for your comments. Thanks for your cheer. All the best to sweet moments this year. 💙❄️🎄💛✨❤️
That candy cane print tee is soooo cute, and I love how it pairs with the Pinkbopp ring and peppermint purse!! ❤️🤍 Of course, all of your Christmas-themed outfits are fantastic! I especially adore the mix of the snowman sweater and hot pink accessories. Plus, your festive accessories and house decorations! On a different note, I'm sorry to hear about the high cholesterol surprise. I'm sure you'll handle it bravely! And what a way to treat yourself with the gift of a break - a gift I'm sure Charlotte will appreciate someday! 💖
It certainly looks like Christas at your house! Beautiful decorations and themes, Are the pics all from your house? Love your outfits and the red boots, hot pink leggings, and white boots. I am a bright color lover as it appears that you are too with the bright yellow chai and hot pink foot stool. Love all of it. Wishing you, your hubby, and Char a very Merry Blessed Christmas.
Thanks so much, Judee! And to answer your question, yes, all the pics are at my house. I cleverly cut all the baby gear out of the frame. 😏🎄
