This is my favorite view - the glow of the Christmas tree from "my" spot on the couch. I love to sit here with my husband, usually with one kitty on my lap and another one on the rug in front of me. This is where I'm planning to spend the next couple of days -… Continue reading Signing Off For Christmas

Christmas Card {2015}!
At Thanksgiving, I shared with my family that I was most thankful for the HOPE we have in Jesus Christ. It seemed only right to include this line from "O Holy Night" on our Christmas card. We have HOPE not only because Jesus was born, but because He lived a sinless life, died on the… Continue reading Christmas Card {2015}!
Red And Green Christmas Tablescape
I had so much fun putting this tablescape together for today's post! This year I really wanted to decorate my tree with lots of red, gold and burlap...but the Christmas decor I've collected over the past several years is red, turquoise and silver. Don't get me wrong, I love my tree - but it was fun… Continue reading Red And Green Christmas Tablescape
The Ugly Christmas Sweater
So ugly Christmas sweaters are kind of a thing right now. Everyone throws an ugly Christmas sweater party and you can find the perfect ugly sweater in almost any store. Last week, I was looking for such sweater to wear to a Christmas party and instead of finding one that was legitimately ugly, I found… Continue reading The Ugly Christmas Sweater
$5 Goodwill Challenge: Christmas Edition
I struggle with wreaths in general, but Christmas presents an additional challenge to my wreath impairment. My front door is a lovely burgundy...but it clashes with Christmas red! Last year I went with green and gold, but that arrangement bit the dust after being exposed to the elements of winter. This year I went a totally… Continue reading $5 Goodwill Challenge: Christmas Edition

How I Stay Organized At Christmas
Can you believe that Christmas is just over five weeks away? I love the many opportunities for planning and organizing that come with Thanksgiving and Christmas! Last year I hosted Thanksgiving and thoroughly enjoyed all the planning that went with the occasion. This year I'm not hosting either holiday, but there are still plenty of… Continue reading How I Stay Organized At Christmas
Blessed Is She Who Believed
Every year in December I read the Christmas story from Luke's gospel. It's a very familiar story - most of the words have been committed to memory since I was a little girl. Still, every year I expect to find something new in the story that touches my heart. God's Word is always fresh -… Continue reading Blessed Is She Who Believed
