Christmas 2013

When I wasn't looking a little polar bear crawled out of a treasure chest and decorated my house with all things Christmas!


Not really. I played traffic director as my hubby and son pulled boxes out of the garage "attic" and brought them inside. I peeked under lids and chose which ones would actually be used, and which might not get opened.

I started out with good intentions: 2 trees, tons of lights, a million decorations and Christmas in every corner. You know, I slimmed the plans down, and that's just fine.

I love Christmas--twinkling lights, carols of Jesus, stars, shepherds, a little drummer boy and Santa. I crave Christmas aromas: sugar cookies, gingerbread, ham and turkey, sweet rolls, etc. I love candles and nativities and man made snowdrifts around ceramic villages. I soak it all in and love it! But this year, one tree is enough. 

So, I basically promised another novel, but it's definitely not going to happen before Christmas is packed away again. I've got cookies to frost, stories to read to my little grands, parties to host and attend, and stockings to hang...

Merry Christmas!
