Posted in Making Memories

This is how I spent my entire day -- eating Christmas cookies for breakfast, snacking on Christmas dinner leftovers for lunch, staying in my PJ's & new toe socks (those are sure silly- lol), surfing the net and just basking in the luxury that nothing more needs to be done for Christmas.  I sometimes wish I was one of those ladies who is up and at'um the day after Christmas, bright and early, snatching up all the 75% off bargains but G-d just didn't build me that way.  

My way of preparing for next Christmas is to sip my coffee and reflect on what happened this season and NOT rush around buying for next year even before this year is over LOL.  One of the ways I do that is to SLEEP lol but Kelli at There Is No Place Like Home gave me the idea to make a Keepsake Folder which I attached to a memory box that can hold our keepsake ornaments for the year plus some of my other precious memories (Pictures to come later).   I added cards that I can write down some of my feelings about this Christmas and the things that I did because frankly I never remember what I do from year to year.  The folder is great in that I can put photos, tags, recipes and dodads inside each envelope to remember this year.  I'm pleased with how it turned out and since my memory cards are fairly generic this will be a great way to spend every Boxing Day from here on out -- just boxing up the memories.
