With only a week left before the big day arrives, I am doing my best to make the most of each day leading up to it.  In our home that includes lots of holiday baking, Christmas tunes, taking long car rides through the cold and falling snow with the heat blazing inside the cab, to [...]

Each year I try to incorporate meaningful experiences into our holiday season in hopes that they will become part of our Christmas traditions.  My husband and I were both very blessed to have grown up in such wonderful families, and have carried many of the great traditions we enjoyed as children during Christmas time into [...]

Holiday Traditions And Letters From Santa

It’s the day after Thanksgiving and do you know what I love most about today?  In my home it marks the first official day to pull out the “Santa card.”  (And you thought I was going to say black Friday sales didn’t you?!)  If you’re here visiting from another planet and are not familiar with [...]
