 "may your days be merry and bright"
-bing crosby

i love christmas.  it's filled with rosy cheeks, hot cocoa, christmas carols, twinkling lights, the excitement and wonder of santa claus, the sound of ripping paper, neighbors reuniting, fresh baked cookies, church bells ringing, and lots of laughter and love...

it's a time to be generous.
a time to spend with family and friends.
a time to be thankful for that baby in a manager and all that we are blessed with.

and it's a time to be merry...hope yours was very merry!
