It’s Christmas Eve.
It must be time for “the talk”.

I see you all scurrying about attempting to make this season perfect.

It’s time to stop.

Remember the time the power went out and you couldn’t cook the big meal you planned, or the time your mom forgot to put the turkey in the oven?

Of course you do!

That’s the year you remember how everyone came together, laughed, and made everything work.

That’s the year you made a memory.

Do you think our ancestors planned for us to spend weeks on end in a tizzy of trying to plan one perfect day?

They did not.

Yet they still made beautiful memories.

They had crooked trees, they had sparse meals and they were charmed by the miracle of an orange in a sock in December.

This year, give yourself a gift.

Give yourself the grace to be imperfect and happy.

Give yourself the opportunity to make memories out of your human imperfection.

Give yourself, calm and prepared to truly enjoy the people you’re with.

They don’t care if the stuffing is perfect.

They care that you took the time to ask about their lives, play a game, or sing along loudly while you told them how awesome they are.

Please come back and tell us all what went wrong and how it ended up being fun.

Love,
April 💛
