unwrap the now....

i should be wrapping but i am writing. i  just wanted to share a thought.  we have been
busy as elves around here. decorating, baking, crafting etc.  a balsam candle is burning on

the counter.  i remind myself that so much of the joy of christmas is really in the preparation.

setting the stage in our homes to welcome our family and friends brings us closer together.
the important things will get done.  take 30 minutes just like i just did,  walk outside
look at the lights in your neighborhood, regroup and prioritize what's most important.  you won't
remember all the things that didn't get done.  you will however remember the sweet moments and the
time you spent with your loved ones.

love sent, xo
