Lately, we've been having a jolly good time! There has been baking, gift wrapping,
board games, Christmas music and twinkling lights everywhere. I love this time
of the year. Our home smells of sweet, warm scents. Our Christmas lights come
on every evening around five. We recently picked up our Starbucks Holiday blend.
My husband makes a fine cup of coffee. Some of our selected Christmas music
brings back a few childhood memories. One song in particular is, Rudolph the
Red Nosed Reindeer. I have a picture of me from when I was younger; I performed
this song in Germany and wore the the antlers and had a little red nose. I wasn't quite a wee one, but I was in elementary school
at the time. Our oldest daughter loves asking questions about her daddy and I.
She normally asks questions about our childhood. Growing up my mother never
wrapped our Christmas gifts. It wasn't such a big deal, but now that I am older
and have children of my own, I have started wrapping their gifts. I absolutely
love watching them unwrap their presents. It is such a precious time and I
enjoy this so much. We'll be baking some gingerbread cookies this weekend. We
have some red, blue, white and a few other frosting choices. The weather has
been a bit flaky. It snowed the other day. Today our high is 56. The sun is out
and there is a slight breeze. Our oldest has been enjoying a few hands on
projects. She recently put together a doorbell. She loves it and her little
sister uses it to wake her in the morning. It is pretty darn cute! It has
definitely been a jolly good time over here. I hope the same for all my lovely
readers.
May you all stay warm and enjoy this
beautiful holiday season. 💗
