Oh Christmas Tree

To know me is to know how much I absolutely adore Christmas. I love the decorating, the madness, the festivities- and of course, everything that surrounds the REAL meaning of Christmas, and that’s the birth of baby Jesus.

This year, I went back and forth on whether we were going to purchase a large tree like usual, or if we would go with a smaller one that we could sit on a table and look festive, yet take up less space. In the end- that’s exactly what we decided to do.

Our small tree deserved small lights, so I picked up some of the Central Park LED lights and they add the perfect glow to our little three foot tree. Since it was too small to hold my usual fare of decorations, I went out and picked up a few new little things. It’s festive, and when I think about how joyous it makes me- I smile.

Marcel and I aren’t exchanging gifts this year- We have everything we need and that brings me much happiness.

What about you? What makes your Christmas merry and bright?

Spreading the Love- Music Style

As I was listening to a good friend practice on his porch last night with the band he’s a part of, I couldn’t help but smile at how far they’ve come in such a short time.      They started out with sub-par equipment and as they would do local gigs and save money, they would buy new things-  one at a time with their latest being the telecaster style guitars. The sound is clean and it makes it very obvious just how much they’ve grown and continue to grow.    I can’t wait to see where the journey takes them.  One thing I do know, is that it will be taking them to a local winter festival and I will be there to show my support.
