My Christmas Door
From My Door to Yours!


Christmas is right around the corner and I am trying to figure out what presents I will give to the family.  I tend to wait to last minute or until I reach my peak holiday spirit. This does not necessarily work in my favor. Since I do not enjoy shopping at any time of the year, it is worse at Christmas time with the crowds and disorganization. Poking through piles of things searching for the right color and size is not my idea of fun!  Consequently, with my shopping phobia and waiting for the Holiday Spirit to kick in, I do not get many bargains.  So why do I love Christmas so much?     


Speaking of bargains, I have one for you, your family and friends. Chek out my very special 2012 LET'S GET STARTED program.  This was created for all of my procrastinating friends who are always telling me; "Next year I am going to start decluttering and downsizing."  Okay now you have a great opportunity to GET STARTED! 

 

Enjoy the newsletter.  Enjoy and be safe throughout this holiday season!
 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

So Why Do I Love Christmas? 
It certainly not going Christmas shopping!  
 

Christmas time is, and always has been, about the suspense, anticipation, beauty, hope, joy, peace, pleasure and most of all the love I receive from family and friends.  Growing up,Christmas was always a magical time of the year and these are the feelings I experienced. 

My Mom and Dad did everything to make Christmas very special and magical for the family. From sitting on Santa's lap explaining in detail everything our hearts desired; to the huge tree, loaded with lights, ornaments, and boxes (many boxes) of silver icicles placed on the tree one strand at a time and of course the piles of brightly wrapped presents. 
 
 

However, it was not just about Santa, the tree, and presents.  Everything, it seemed, was building up our suspense and eager anticipation for Christmas.  It did not, however, seem over the top, corny, or crass as it sometime does today. It was beautiful, filled with joy and peace.

 
vintage christmas ornamentsI enjoyed and eagerly looked forward to the simple, inexpensive, uncomplicated preparations that created these special feelings.  It was fun finding the perfect tree, putting it up, and decorating it!  Even tediously hanging icicles, one strand at a time, was fun, because the magical beauty of the completed tree was worth the effort.  So were the annual family rides to view Christmas lights, going into Boston and walking through the Boston Common for the light displays and strolling past the big department store windows viewing holiday displays. 

 

There was also that great sense of peace, anticipation, and suspense coming home on Christmas Eve, to the aromas of homemade breads, pies, and cakes in various stages of completion.  The old Pillsbury commercial "Nothing says lovin like something from the oven!", is true!  My Mom and Grandma showered us with lots of 'lovin'.  

 

Also it is love and happiness you feel when you find, make or create the perfect present.  It makes you feel wonderfull when you take the time to pick what you know is the perfect present, no matter how big or what the cost. In return, you feel special when you received that one special, perfect present. Like I felt the year I received my hockey stick!  I truly wanted a hockey stick and I got it. I know that was one of the only times my Dad bought any of our presents. That year that was my perfect present and Dad made me feel special!  


 
Finally, I love the Christmas Season--just because!  Even though shopping is not for me, I put on the blinders, hold my nose, and jump through hoops to find the perfect presents and to create all the feelings, memories, and love, that I have from all the Christmas' Past. There is no Bah Humbug in my home, just Merry Christmas to all!

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM WITTZ END! 

 

This year, right before Thanksgiving I gave a talk to a local Council on Aging group. Over half the people there told me that they were going to start decluttering and downsizing next year!  I hear this all the time from family, friends, and the adult children of clients; they are going to declutter and downsize next year because; "I do not want my children to have to go through what I did with my parents."
