//CURRENTLY: {December} 2020

Anne, at In Residence, hosts a linkup on the first Wednesday of every month and invites readers to share a few things they’re up to currently. Be sure to head over to Anne’s blog and see what everyone is up to this month.

|BAKING| 

       Healthy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip muffins

          

|DECORATING|    
       the WFH office for Christmas. It’s not much but it’s something (of course, the
        Christmas tree and other decorations in the living and dining rooms have been up
        since Nov. 1)

|GIFTING|   
        …I honestly have no idea. As a family (there are 4 of us – mom, grandmother, sister,
         me), we don’t buy each other Christmas gifts. We give/buy things for each other
         throughout the year so we don’t buy at Christmas. It is just something we decided to
         do. It takes the stress out of having to worry about what to buy. As far as friend gifts,
         we normally don’t do them. If I see something that I want to buy someone, I will but
         there is no plan to exchange gifts as friends. Each others’ company is enough for
          us:)
           

|HOPING|
       for a better year next year!! 
        (although the working from home has been GREAT and will hopefully stay!)
           

|SENDING|
        MERRY CHRISTMAS greetings (online). I don’t have time to get Christmas cards
        together and mailed so online it is this year!

    Definitely nice to scale back on the gift buying and focus on the other joys of the season. I can't get away with that with a 7-year-old, but we have done the same with adult siblings. Thanks for joining in, and enjoy the holidays.

    Yes, let's hope 2021 is much better than 2020 has been (at least since March). And my husband and I tend to buy each other things throughout the year as well. It definitely saves on stress in December.

    New to your blog (found you through the Currently linkup), but I had a suggestion for your gift giving for your family members – how about photo books or memory books from either this year (if possible) or favorite memories from your past? That might be something fun and unexpected! I was making them for my mom and mother-in-law each year for Mother's Day, but I've been slacking!

    Those muffins look fantastic! I'm going to have to find that recipe for my mom and my daughter to try out!

    I don't necessarily hate it but I'm not the type person that finds good, practical, thoughtful gifts (or at least I feel that way) so it tends to be stressful.
