Each Saturday Ruth Ayres invites us to share and celebrate events from our week. Looking for small celebrations has certainly improved my outlook on my week. For that, I am certainly grateful to Ruth and to all of you who choose to celebrate with us.
This week I am celebrating the start of my Christmas break. I absolutely love teaching, but I love my breaks! A time to relax, restore, and rejuvenate.
I celebrate taking a break from my responsibilities at school so that I can enjoy time with my family, especially my children. They are the age where they usually just want food and money, but I am ready to spend some quality time with them. My son asked me the other day if we could make Christmas sugar cookies...his favorite! I said absolutely, thrilled that he still wanted to do this with me.
I celebrate taking a break from setting the alarm so that I can stay up late reading, sleep in because I "just had to finish that book" and wearing my pajamas for as long as I want. I have many books to read and will certainly find some to read on the Winter Pop-up Library.
Check it out - free ebooks from December 21 - January 5!

I hope each of you have a great break and find many reasons to celebrate!
Now, I am off to continue shopping!
I love having a break, too, for many of the same reasons. I will be enjoying quality time with my family and reading. What are you reading?
ReplyDeleteIt's great to be able to take a break and get refreshed for the next semester. Thanks for the link to the library, That's cool!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of having the chance to "just finish the book" and then sleeping in the next morning. I hope to do some of that as well. I am off to watch a movie online now that my visitors succumbed to the force of jet-lag (and are sleeping now). Happy relaxing!
ReplyDeleteI feel exactly as you do, Leigh Anne - so glad that our break is finally here! Enjoy the holidays!
ReplyDeleteBreaks are essential for staying healthy (physically, emotionally, mentally.) Enjoy the time with your family!
ReplyDeleteAs I read this at almost noon, still in my jammies, I can totally relate to your reasons to celebrate vacations. I hope you have a great one!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the PJ's and time to read!
