Bleh! Smart Balance does not make for good cookies. Tomorrow we go back to a more traditional version of the recipe so we can enjoy some Christmas cookies...
I think that this should be a joyous and relaxed season, and not be so filled with pressure and expectations. What's a "good enough" holiday season? I don't think everything has to be perfect (whatever that is). I don't think our holiday card has to go out on time (whenever that is).
A friend pointed out that I live in a house that's lived in (that would be a euphemism for "sometimes messy and in need of a cleaning"), so why not live a life that lived in too? Embrace the sometimes messy parts, and get to the cleaning when things settle down again.
I think a good enough holiday season would have everyone enjoying the special activities of the season: thinking loving thoughts as they select meaningful presents, laughing and connecting as they create holiday foods, reminiscing fondly as they create holiday cards and address them to dear friends. So what if the presents are "equal"? So what if the food burns or tastes funny? So what if the card is late? I enjoyed the holidays. Good enough.
