THE CHRISTMAS SHOP
A collection of holiday goodies from my heart to yours
Christmas. The most magical time of the year (according to my children—and I’d have to agree).
In our house, it is a time full of love and laughter as we bake and decorate our home for the season. Every day, starting December 1st, our home is filled with the sounds, smells, and sights of the season. Homemade wreaths and fresh boughs, a million different cookies and treats (even homemade candy canes and marshmallows), and Christmas Carols, old and new, on the radio or piano (or even the violin, if I get time to pull it out!). Even the Elf makes an appearance, painting windows with Christmas scenes and adding to the festivities.
As a house full of creatives, we truly enjoy this time together making memories to cherish for always.
For our family, this season is typically also filled with visits with family and good friends that we don’t get to see often, special wintery wonderland trips to magical places, and, of course, the annual trip to the Pantomime. And is there anything better than a delicious homemade meal enjoyed with great company?
How lucky am I that I have all these things in my life to make this season so special? Believe me, I don’t take this for granted. It truly breaks my heart that there are so many in need. I still have dreams of being able to do more for those who find this time of year so difficult and lonely, but each year we do what we can. {My husband and I met volunteering at the Good Shepherd Christmas Dinner!} A season of gratitude, kindness, and goodwill—“My Grown Up Christmas List”.
And, can you keep a secret? I still wholeheartedly believe in Santa—as the embodiment of the spirit of Christmas. If you’re a skeptic, remind me to tell you the story of a jolly old man we met in the Staples parking lot a few years back. Dressed in red, with a sparkle in his eye, and a belly laugh like no other. I still get goosebumps when I think back to the joy he spread.
As a great big thank you from me to you, this year I’ve reopened my Christmas shop for the holidays: hand-painted ornaments and Christmas cards. I hope they bring you as much joy as they brought me while making them.
Happy Holidays!
