reminded

Tonight I was reminded what I enjoy most about Christmas as an adult - spending time with family and friends. I didn't feel well today, so I came home from work early, with all the "I still need to get this done" thoughts running through my mind. I slept for most of the afternoon and woke up feeling a bit better. My sister called and we had a fun conversation talking about our food menus for next week. And that's when I was reminded - the gifts, the wrapping, and the decorating are beautiful and wonderful ways to prepare for the holiday, but spending time with my loved ones is what matters most.
