It feels impossible not to think about Christmas now that Halloween is over and we are past the election. Maybe I just want to feel hopeful and happy and move on. I see blogs, Instagram, and stores in full on Christmas mode. And that's fine, but I am enjoying this peaceful Fall time before Thanksgiving.
Even so, I found these cinna dough ornaments leftover from last year and decided to turn them into ornaments. They still smell great! I bought nothing for this "craft", just used some supplies I already had. I added thin florist wire to hang them, and will tuck them into my tree to add a soft scent of cinnamon.
I don't see myself getting much more crafty than this, though I love seeing how other blogs are stretching their creative muscles. I was going to put the trees up last week, but I think I would rather "live slowly" and just wait until closer to the end of November.
Everything about the holidays feels very different to me now, but I am discovering new ways of thinking about it. In the last couple of years, I felt like I had to make Christmas special for other people - to somehow fill a huge gap. Which in reality, cannot be filled. So my goal is to move more peacefully through the holidays.
How about you?
Gina
