Blogmas: Day 10

It's been fun to post about gifts, treats and all of the other fun things that are part of Christmas. Through all of the fun it's important to remember the true meaning of Christmas.

 I've enjoyed sharing bits and pieces of ways we celebrate. Now it's time for me to step away.  As I type this my father-in-law and his wife are making the drive here from their home in Florida. They will drive all night and be here some time in the morning. 

The next couple of days we will visit and wrap of some last minute details. Before we know it the big day will have come and gone. I don't know about you, but I want to cherish every moment. Merry Christmas!

Cozy December nights are even better with Christmas movies!

Blogmas: Day 8

Some of our traditions are a little different this year. That is to be expected since our little lady isn't quite so little any more.

 We are still doing the things we love, which includes driving around to look at lights. This is our favorite house. We anticipate it's completion each year.

Handmade gifts or gifts from the heart are fun to make and give. Oh, and also fun to receive!

I made this with my 6 month old great-nephew to gift to his parents.

Christmas music is on morning 'til night.

I generally choose a playlist from YouTube. Even my great-nephew, Ben, approves.

Blogmas: Day 5

You won't find fancy wrapping in my home. Not that I don't love them or want to, but we have a naughty cat. Mr. Link may have eaten ribbon the first year he was here and required an expensive surgery. So, no pretty ribbons here.

Now is where I confess that I am an early shopper and wrapper. This picture was taken mid October. Why, because I like to sit back and enjoy the season. I will pick up a few little things here and there in December, but for the most part I avoid the shopping crowds and stress of will it be delivered in time.

 Now, it's your turn to share... is it ribbon and bows on your packages?

Making treats to eat and share is always fun!

 Homemade caramels is a favorite for a co worker of Chuck. We didn't make them last year and he is super excited that they made an appearance this year.

My all time favorite things leading up to Christmas is Christmas Cards!

 Not only do I enjoy sending them, but I LOVE receiving them! It seems that people are sending out less cards. Although I understand why, I choose to find joy in what I do receive.

Blogmas: Day 2

Each morning while I am enjoying my morning cup of tea or hot chocolate this is my view.

It's a little different than usual because we downsized our tree this year. I felt the need to have a slimmer version due to some life happenings. The glow of the lights brings me so much joy! '

Blogmas 2023: Day 1

Well, it's been a while. I have missed having a place to share bits and pieces of my life. I have been seeing different bloggers posting random pictures of things they are enjoying this Christmas season. I thought I would jump right in and share some ways I am cherishing the season!

 Nothing says warm and cozy like a cup of hot chocolate. I've replaced my morning cup of tea several times this month. Yum!
