The tree is up, the gifts are wrapped, the cookies baked, fudge is made, and the work parties are almost done. The Christmas cards were mailed, some even twice! This is Christmas, right?

As Eric and I opened day 20 on our advent calendar the song that came on the radio was "So this is Christmas". It made me nostalgic for those years as a kid where everything was so magical and so big. Where you counted every day till Christmas came. Now I can't believe it is already this weekend, I still think it is only the 12th of December. Somehow, in the business of what it means to 'be Christmas' I lost a week of time.
This past night Eric and I took some time to enjoy 'Christmas". With believing this may be our last Christmas in the states for a while we have decided to try and hit every family Christmas, plus our own little family one. That being said it was such a blessing to take those 20 minutes yesterday and have that peace of enjoying Christmas. Whether it is curling up under a blanket and watching a classic (our favorite White Christmas), staring at the twinkling lights on tree, sipping hot cocoa after playing in the snow, or dancing to some Bing Crosby. What ever way you find the peace of the Holidays - take the time to enjoy it a little this week. Because soon, before we know it, it will be passed.So we wish you, our family, friends, partners, a very Merry Christmas!
