JANUARY 2025 PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Happy New Year to all my Newcomer friends! Confession - I did not decorate for the holidays this year………What?! (I just admitted that to all 400+ NCNC members). Usually, we have lots planned for December, but not this year. The kids are traveling to their in-laws, and Steve and I are traveling the first week of 2025. We don’t have any parties planned, and If I can be brutally honest, I didn’t feel like it! Steve’s calling me “grinchy”. Am I a little blue? Maybe. Am I ok with being a little blue? Heck yes, I am! I’m playing the “woe is me card that I don’t get my kids for Christmas.” To be fair, I did spend a great Thanksgiving with them. I am not 100% grinchy either– I am still wearing my Christmas attire, attending holiday parties, and listening to Christmas music (mostly at the winery where I work). But my house is not festive at all. So, if you are feeling a little blue, you are not alone! There seems to be a lot of emphasis on making sure everything is perfect as we try and pack in so much “fun” during the holiday season. Do you struggle FOMO (fear of missing out) too? If my words resonate with you, please take my advice to slow down and embrace your inner grinch. I really hope you were kind to yourself last month. Did you treat yourself to another cup of tea? I hope you didn't feel guilty that you had not finished wrapping gifts or strung the lights yet because in the long run who cares! It’s not too late to check in with your friends, take a walk, or cuddle your pets! Just writing this makes me feel a little better about my decision to take a year off from decorating. The one thing I feel the best about is that I don’t have to all the decorations down! I hope you enjoyed however you decided to spend the holidays. I enjoyed friends, cups of yummy tea and chocolate and watched some Christmas movies that kept me laughing. I especially enjoy Elf and Spirited. Yes, I love Will Ferrell – he makes me giggle! We all know that laughter is the best medicine! Wishing you a fantastic 2025! Debbie Gazay NCNC President 2024-2025 |
