Thanks for this reflection, Eric. That need for control over absolutely every single little aspect of our lives is the hardest attachment to let go of, isn't it? I'm working on it. Am I making any progress? ....Maybe?? Like I said, I'm working on it.
We long ago switched to artificial Christmas trees at the Salerno household. The smaller, pre-lit variety. I know, I know.... But honestly, we're trying to find joy in a simple, low-key Christmas set-up. It's all part of our larger effort to simplify our lives by letting go of "stuff" to make room for what really matters. Maybe I'll write something about it in the future...
If I don't get a chance later: Blessed Advent and Merry Christmas to you and your family, Eric!
Thanks for sharing, Thomas! And for the record, I lobby for an artificial tree every year but am always voted down 😂 Happy Advent and Merry Christmas to you and your family too!
