Christmas vacation

Well, Christmas is pretty much over. All that remains is the Visa bill, the wrapping paper, and the calories! We ate way too much, at least I did, no wonder everyone's favorite resolution for New Years is to lose weight. Maybe I'll do Weight Watchers again. I had lost 20 pounds through Weight Watchers, but I put it all back on over the last two years, and then some.
The kids are going stir crazy. I think I need to force them to spend time outside playing in the snow. How sad is that!? Obviously, we have too much stuff. Sometimes I think we just need to disconnect from computers, tv, video games, etc., and re-connect with each other. I wonder if we could go a week without all the electronics...I should try it with my family. (To be truthful, I don't know if I could do it. What with having an online store...www.cafepress.com/creativethought. I mean, I do need to check on it.)
Maybe I'll try it. Maybe we should try the first week of January to go tv, video game free for a week...hmmm. I'll definately think about it and let you know how it goes.
My hope for the holidays is that there would be peace in the world. I know, it sounds corny, but seriously, the world is such a messed up place. I get stressed just thinking about it. I realize how lucky I am to live in the United States of America, and I know I am truly blessed, not with material things, but with freedoms that so many people take for granted. I just wish the world would evolve and we could all just get along. Wasn't that a song?
