\"\"<\/a> Pizza Thursday is still going strong over here at the HQ. It’s become a nice little weekly tradtion for us. It signals that we’re getting close to the end of the week and that the weekend is within viewing range.<\/p>\n

For pizza this week, I wanted to keep things simple. \u00a0I think this is the least amount of ingredients I’ve put on a pizza. \u00a0Usually I like to load it up with all kinds of stuff but this week it was all about minimal ingredients but great flavor.<\/p>\n

I kind of feel like that’s how I’m approaching the holidays this year. \u00a0Simple and\u00a0minimalist\u00a0with the focus being more on the celebration and the moment instead of all the “stuff”.<\/p>\n

Yes I still decorated and got out all my trees<\/a> but I didn’t put out all of my decorations. \u00a0In fact a good many of them got packed back up and stored away until after Christmas. \u00a0When Scott was returning everything to the basement he kept asking me, “And this too? And these over here?” \u00a0“Yes, all of that stuff can go back.”<\/p>\n

I think when I start packing stuff up again, I’m going to weed out a lot of decorations. \u00a0My tastes are changing and I’m less inclined to want all kinds of little tchotchkes around, preferring trees, lights, and garland instead.<\/p>\n
