If you did not get a Christmas card from the Roses this year…don’t worry, you didn’t secretly tick me off.

No.

It’s called…I launched a new business while currently running a few different blogs and helping the hubby run his business. All while refereeing the constant WWE match that goes down here at the Rose casa on a nightly basis.

And somethings gotta give my sweet and understanding friends.

That something just so happened to be my Christmas chores. {insert my “don’t judge me” face}

Which included decorating, baking, Christmas cards and early shopping.

Absolutely none of those happened. And it kinda felt good.

If I was being super honest.

Sometimes I have all this pressure on myself to do do do.

For what? So I can be stressed out and act like a psycho all the time?

This year I decided it wasn’t worth it.

If you don’t believe me… Just read how I almost had an elf burial last week. You’ll get how serious I am after that.

I just wanted to enjoy the moments with my children this year instead of stressing out about how good my mantel looks or how the hell I am gonna get all these children dressed in something more than their underwear for a family Christmas photo.

And my motto became… “If it doesn’t bring JOY, then it doesn’t get done!”

Perhaps next year I will resume my Supermom abilities, but until then…I’m enjoying the holidays with a half-decorated tree and lots of love from my kids.

Merry Christmas!
