'Tis the Season - Kate Colleran Designs

Are you in the holiday spirit? ‘Tis the season and all that?

This past weekend, my husband and I put up our Christmas tree and tried to get into the spirit of things.

Some of you know that 2 ½ years ago, he and I moved from our hometown in CT to Colorado for a job. It is lovely here. We have met some nice people, hubby has a good job and I have taken a break from nursing to focus on my quilting. All good things.

And the weather is much better!

But the holidays are about being with family and I will miss that this year. I am trying hard to be grown up about it; some days are easier than others.

I have been told that the best thing to do is create new traditions. We are debating what that means- probably going to a movie and getting Chinese food! And I am sure we will have fun. And enjoy it.

But that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t trade it over in a heartbeat for a day with family.

Next up on the holiday to-do list- cards! So, the big question- do you do “the holiday letter” and enclose it in your cards?

Merry Christmas!
