Hello loves - and merry Christmas!
I hope you had a lovely holiday - spent relaxing by the fire, drinking plenty of hot cocoa, and spending time with loved ones. It's in the evening on Christmas day as I type this, and I am using this time to wind down and reflect on the lovely few days I've had. On Christmas Eve, my mother and I spent time decorating a gingerbread house (poorly - I might add - but it's the effort that counts), making cookies, and then watching It's a Wonderful Life with my Dad. Truly, it was a beautiful evening. During the day today - we opened presents - exchanged laughs - and had a wonderful supper with my grandmother and aunt.
I cannot express how much I love this time of year. Everyone is in a generous mood, and everyone is just more cheerful. For a long while now I have agreed with the Grinch - that Christmas might not come from a store "maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more." Receiving gifts is a great thing - but giving gifts - and just spending time with those that are special to you are really what this season is all about. I feel very fortunate that I have the opportunity to do so.
That aside - I still would like to share with you what I received this Christmas! I snapped some pictures this afternoon to share with all of you. :)
