With Christmas right around the corner it seemed natural to post something red.  With this scarf I was able to combine both red and green so I’m feeling really festive!  The sun was much brighter than I realized and the photos ended a up bit bleached out as a result.  We should have re-taken the shots but there was so much to do and not enough time to do it.  I hope you’ll forgive me.

We had some holiday cheer today going to lunch with one of our daughters and her husband.  They weren’t able to be in town for Christmas so they came in a few days early.  We spent a leisurely lunch catching up, exchanging gifts and just enjoying each other’s company.  Isn’t that a lot of what the season is about?

I think my Christmas shopping is finished but I still have a lot of wrapping to do.  This season just hasn’t felt Christmas-y to me.  I guess it’s because I have so many things going on right now that I haven’t taken time to sit down and reflect about those things that, as a Christian, are most important to me about this holiday.  I’m letting busy-ness get in the way of importance.

Are you ready for Christmas?  What does this holiday mean to you?

Thanks you so much for stopping by.  I hope you and your family have a safe, blessed and Merry Christmas.
