Merry Christmas
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
Popping in to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! May your holiday be filled with family, love, and good cheer!

easter
I didn't dye Easter eggs or get an Easter basket this year, and I hardly ate one Peep. But we were blessed with a gorgeous, bright and sunny spring day, had a wonderful church service and delicious lunch, and enjoyed spending the day outside and at rest. I would say this Easter has been one of the best.
He is Risen, He is Risen Indeed :)
Happy Easter!

So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
"Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."
When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about."
So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

After baking all those sweet Christmas cookies, don't forget to package them up pretty to give as gifts. I like the idea of including a little book of favorite recipes too.

The Nutcracker ballet is one of my favorite things about the holiday season. The music, the costumes, the gracefulness of the dances... it's all very enchanting.

A fun (and free) Christmas activity is to all pile in the car, turn on the Christmas radio station, and drive around neighborhoods looking for the best Christmas light displays. There's always that one house that goes crazy, with thousands of lights, giant blow up figures, and santa as part of the nativity scene. (Btw, this... is hilarious!)

Hunter and I still don't have a venue for our 2010 wedding... hence the lack of wedding posts on here, since we haven't really done much solid planning. But I do have wedding on the brain and although I don't envision a wintry wedding for myself, I do think this pink poinsetta theme in this Snippet & Ink inspiration board is simply lovely and would make for a beautiful holiday wedding.
Let It Snow!
Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
There was a major winter storm this past weekend and we got around 16" of snow! So we stayed inside, baked gingerbread cookies, watched movies, and pretty much just lazed around by the fire. It was wonderful :)

Tis the season for giving, and not just to family and friends, but to those in need around the world. If you're looking for a gift that's more meaningful than materialistic, visit World Vision's gift catalogue.
Give the gift of a goat, or chickens. School supplies or clothing. The share of a well, or education for a child. Things that may seem small, but when given, make a huge impact on the lives of needy families in impoverished countries.
Make a donation in honor of your gift recipient, and give a gift that keeps on giving.

This week's Pretty Shoe Tuesday may not exactly be "pretty," but they are cute... and comfy... and warm... and pink... and on sale... so I think they definitely make the cut. ;)
