On Friday (the day after Thanksgiving) my son said, "Mom- is it Christmas now?" I said, well, its not Christmas day but it is Christmas time. Yesterday was Thanksgiving and now it is Christmas time." Of course when I said Christmas time my mind flashed back to senior year show choir as we sang this song at the dessert concert! :)
Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of the year
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of the year
Our decorated home (the green lights stopped working around the door. )
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share
Sleigh bells in the airBeauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there
Here is our family tree in the living room. The kids wanted colored lights. The actual tree has been decorated 18 years I figured out! It has been in a total of 8 different homes over the years! Each and every ornament could have a story about it- some are made by me as a child. Some are as old as 1980, and some are made by the kids now! Im not sure that there is a branch that doesnt have something on it!
We'll be drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year...
Above is the 2010 version... Below is the 2013 version! Luckily Grandpa and Grandma took them to get pictures taken! They turned out very well!
Wishing everyone an amazing Christmas Season- where we can refocus and be reminded of why it is that we celebrate this time of year!
