I promise to not go online again until after Christmas (Dec 26, 1 am, I'm here, dudes.)
I promise to not stress over the stuff that doesn't matter (i.e. the throwing of the paper at my parents' house which stresses my parents out so I guess I really will stress about it a little bit because I don't want to upset them...)
I promise to spend more time this week with my family, reading books by the tree and singing carols and drinking egg nog (though I am with them 24/7 so I don't think I can really "be" with them any more but maybe I can be present more) (heh... PRESENT. Heh.)
I promise to stop writing posts that suck so much and to only put things up that I am proud of instead of fluffy, unedited bits of tripe that make me hang my head when I read others' brilliant and beautiful odes to parenthood, Christmas and life in general. (Well, I promise to TRY. It might still be a bit tripe-y at times...)
Hope your Holidays are sweet and peaceful and that you are surrounded by those you love, be they beside you in their earthly bodies or in the snow that falls from heaven to remind you of their love.

Merry Christmas to you and your family! I hope you have a wonderful holiday!
Have a Merry Christmas! I'll look for you after the 26th :).
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family!!
Merry Christmas! Enjoy the next couple days of being cut off from the internet world!!
Tracey, you're way too hard on yourself. We want to read you. The real you. I was just thinking yesterday that sometimes people try so hard to "package" themselves in beautiful pictures and stories about their perfect family and all their handcrafted doodads and homemade baking, that they've stripped their blog of anything real. We can't see the person underneath the perfection.
Merry Christmas & HAppy New Year!!
Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas! I am proud of you and your break. I'm working on the present-ness, too. But I also want to read about your life, so don't stay away TOO long, and don't get TOO polished, okay?
Merry Christmas, Tracey! You are one of the most dedicated and amazing moms I know. You're a whole lot more "present" than I am on my best day.
Enjoy that beautiful family of yours.
Your stuff is never tripe! I love reading about your life.
I had kind of been thinking the same thing, though. Not posting just to post, but to have something good or interesting to say. Sadly, it seems I don't have much of that lately. Sigh.
Merry Christmas!!
Merry Merry Christmas!
Hope you don't get the shakes too bad without your online life.
Hey Chicky...I hope you had a GREAT Holiday!
