Keep The Season Bright
For me, Christmas is all about Family. Celebrating the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Coming together, spreading cheer, giving love, and feeling peace.
I’ve spent days making handmade gifts for my family and friends. This year I want to give a piece of myself to my loved ones. Something handmade, with love.
Although I have purchased gifts for my kids, I’m trying to give them the gift of time. My time.
Time usually spend during the hustle and bustle of Christmas. Instead I am making time for cookie baking and gingerbread house decorating. Time for Christmas Carol singing and bundled up drives to look at Christmas lights.
Which leaves very little time for blogging – sorry about that.
I hope that you are able to take the time this Christmas to keep the season bright by spending time with your loved ones creating memories that you (and they) will treasure always.

I think the gift of time is the best of all. I’ve been so busy making tutus that any time I’m not busy making gifts for others to give that I’m trying to do things with the kids. Last night I stayed up til midnight finishing a “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten” scrapbook for my kdg’s teacher. I think that’s the real reason they got a snow day–if I’d put it off they woulda had school.
Happy Holidays to you!!!

I’m with you. There is nothing better than spending the holidays with family.
And I think that hand made gifts are the best gifts to get.

I love that quote “the best things in life are made with love.” Might have to steal that one.
