food for thought

I know that I've used this quote before, but it's one of my absolute favorites!  I believe this especially rings true during Christmas time.  As you are running around stressing out about presents, just remember the Christmas was never about buying audacious presents; it's about spending quality time with those you care the most about!

I am so proud and happy that my family decided not to buy each other Christmas presents this year; instead, we made the decision to spend time together doing some fun Christmas activities like going to see the Nutcracker, baking cookies, and having lunch together.  I must say, I believe this is my favorite Christmas yet!

I am also using this quote because we are having a Hobbit Party on Sunday (complete with breakfast, lunch and tea!) in preparation of the movie coming out on Wednesday (which The Hubby and I are seeing right after I get out of work!).

I hope that you have a wonderful weekend!

If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

~J.R.R. Tolkien

It’s a dangerous business, going out your front door.

~J.R.R. Tolkien

I am channeling Tolkien today since the hubby and I will be seeing the Hobbit this weekend (sooo excited!!!).  It's funny how quotes people have said 50, 100, or 1000 years ago can have such relevance today.  I am guilty sometimes of valuing gold over food, cheer and family--then the hubby brings me back down to reality (which I love him for!).  Personally, I think "your front door" is not only literal but also figurative because you are never the same person once you leave your comfort zone, and that is indeed dangerous  ;o)

I hope that you have a lovely and beautiful weekend!
