Because it is the day to reflect and say “Thanks Universe”.

For the last few weeks, in the Christmas rush there was a lot to complain about. Parking, rushing around the shops dragging a toddler or two, those last minute pressies you inevitably forgot, the queue for Santa photos and don’t start me on trying to remember each and every accessory needed for your kid’s Christmas concert.

(Moose horns and a cowbell. Really?)

So this year, I am vowing not to get caught up in the angst and instead am trying to focus on what I am really grateful for.

This is what has really made my year:

Elsa headband. Up there with the Elsa dress.

Via Streets Paddle Pop Facebook.

For that I am grateful this year.
