Countdown to Christmas -- 2020 Edition

Besides Halloween, I will admit I still get excited for Christmas time. Things just seem to be more magical in the month of December. Luckily enough last December, while hard, I was smiling and happy and I think it is because of this checklist as well as keeping myself surrounded with love and light as much as possible. Definitely glad I changed the pattern of unhappy holiday seasons. However some sadness has returned due to the pandemic and the death of my father. I will make it through the best way I can. Most of the things will be done either by myself or with my boyfriend Mike, or with friends and family. Also, just because there is a date attached does not mean it will happen on that date -- it is more of a checklist.
