I always think of the wonderful times I have had on Christmas, and the "little things" that bring me such joy during this season. I often look around to find the smallest reminders that it isn't what I receive or give as a gift, but the gifts that are all around me in sights, sounds and smells. Like the tree, for instance. Just the smell of a Christmas tree can trigger such good thoughts and remembrances of the past. Christmas carols and songs are playing at my home pretty much 24/7. I know Roger gets bored with it, but I sure don't! I love jingle bells, twinkling lights, red bows, green garland, icicles, flannel sheets, baking cookies, the smell of nutmeg and cinnamon and clove, singing to the music playing in the background, wrapping presents, a crackling fire, making pinecone treats for the birds, and A WHITE CHRISTMAS !!!! ( which is pretty hard to get around Atlanta!)
Bandit wants a live squirrel, cat, or bunny for Christmas this year. He thinks if he is a good boy, Santa will leave him one! ( yeah, right!)
From our home to yours, we wish y'all the very best time this Christmas and a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year!
