Winter has arrived!

BRRRRR! Winter came so fast. It is true that it makes it easier to get into the Christmas spirit when there is snow outside. It has a beauty all it's own and it wouldn't feel like Christmas without it. I was so happy to have my children home over Thanksgiving and cornered them into helping me get our Christmas decorations out and up. I love the Christmas tree. It warms the house and sets the mood. I love to get up in the morning and turn everything on and see the lights. I am always thankful for my family and that time that we can spend together during the holidays. I love the Christmas parties and getting together. I hope that this season finds all of our friends and family well.
