These are the questions I'm hearing daily at my house. As kids we can't wait for the holidays to come. As Adults we dread them, they are stressful times. What to buy for gifts is top on the stress list. Commercialism has caused holidays to become a stressful time. Gone are the days of appreciating an orange and some nuts in your Christmas Stocking. A new pair of shoes or a fancy dress....Now is the time of piles of expensive gifts to lay around the house until they get donated or thrown in the garbage.
A friend had posted on Facebook "if you could go back to any time in the past what would it be". That question could mean many things but by her response it meant to what year or decade I guess. I would choose a simpler time, when we grew our own food, traded for what we needed and money wasn't the ruler of the universe. I do realize it was a "rougher" time then. They didn't have the laws to protect people that they do now and there were world wars. I guess I think of living in a time like "Little House on the Prairie" or "Anne of Green Gables". I think I'm an old sole stuck in 2012, longing for the days of cooking in the kitchen and caring for the children. Seriously, I would love to be cooking all day. I considered becoming a cook or a baker as a profession. It's one of my passions. And my child is my passion. So, that would mean I'd love my job, right?
But, daydreaming time is over, back to reality. Time to load the dishwasher, turn off the internet and TV and head to bed. 2012 style :)
Goodnight!
