It’s that time of year- Christmas.

The list of to-do items keeps growing and once it starts it can begin to feel rushed. Instead, this year I’m making a conscious effort to take a step back and think about why I have certain traditions and routines at this time of year.

By pausing the rush and making personal decisions about what matters most, I’m hoping that I will see where the real priorities are. And it might mean that somethings come to an end. This will give room for more quiet moments, relishing time spent with loved ones and watching the magic.
