I am not someone who thrives on a busy schedule.

I am the opposite!

More then one thing on my calendar to go to in a week makes me break out in hives…

So for the holidays simple is better.

I do not want to say yes to so many things I have left no time to enjoy any of them.

I also like to leave room for something unexpected.

Last year we realized Nick had some extra vacation time he needed to use so we packed up in December and headed off for the Grand Canyon!

I am so thankful I did not pack my calendar with things I had to do so I could say yes to this!

So many amazing memories were made!

I do not regret saying no.

I enjoy those yes moments all the more because of it!

Moments with family and friends, seeing Christmas through my boys eyes.

I do not have to rush out and buy a lot of gifts.

If I have to rush around for something I will probably say no.

I understand some people love the busyness and shopping but I do not.

I enjoy the little moments.

So if you hear me say no this holiday season you know why.

I am enjoying.

Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
