Leading Up to Christmas

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas! Our tree has been up since November 17th and I still am in disbelief that Christmas is next week!!

Being an adult (and now being married) means Christmas looks a bit different compared to when I was younger. I'm still able to continue traditions with my family, but it's also been an opportunity to start new ones!

Some of my favorites things this season include:

Sending Christmas Cards: I've always dreamed of getting to do this, and I am so glad we were able to make it happen this year! This is the picture we used for our card.

Decorating for Christmas: We collect ornaments for places we've traveled too or bigger events we've attended each year. For 2024, we went to a Gwinnett Stripers game in April. I honestly had forgotten we picked up an ornament for this, so it was fun to find that in our box!

Looking at Lights: We took Maui to look at lights a couple times this season! She loved it and so did we!

We also have gone to christmas parties, watched movies, bought gifts, baked cookies, and completed an advent calendar just to name a few more things!

I feel very fortunate for our health and ability to celebrate this time of year. I know that the holidays can feel hard for so many. Praying that you are able to spend time with loved ones and find peace and joy celebrating the true reason for Christmas!
