Merry Christmas!

"It is, indeed, the season of regenerated feeling – the season for kindling, not merely the of hospitality in the hall, but the genial flame of charity in the heart."

{Real Simple Magazine, December '09}

I wish you a very Merry Christmas, full of warm memories, beautiful moments, and most importantly, love. Take time to enjoy the little things...hot chocolate, candles, carols, sweets, hugs. Thank you for you friendship, kindness, and for the fun we've had this year! I'm off to visit your wonderful blogs, finish up with gift deliveries, and then head out to a wonderful Christmas Eve church service. Merry Christmas*
