It’s Christmastime…
Today my little world of my room transforms. I have decided that it is time for the Christmas music to be played, the lights to come out, the tree to be put up, the ornaments hung, and the hot cocoa to become a staple in my drink selection.
So out comes the holiday mug.
And the Christmas Blanket.
And then begins the process of transformation… yes, all done while my lovely pandora Christmas playlist is filling the room.
And so the picture frames and fake flower decorations are cleared to make room for more lovely Christmas things.
And in the presence of a dear friend, the transforming begins.
Slowly...
The delicate ribbons are brought out.
And arranged "just so..."
Maybe by now you are getting the idea of how much I love Christmas…
Last of all, the star.
Beautiful. Wonderful. Peaceful. Family. Jesus. Love. Snow. Romance. Jesus.
The season has started, and I am embracing it with arms wide open. One day I will have something more than a dorm to decorate. I will have a family of my own to curl up with and decorate with. Cookies and cinnamon rolls will be made, snowballs will be thrown, and maybe my clan will come in looking for hot cocoa, dripping wet and shivering, instead of this lone mug that sits next to me as I write.
Christmas … peace. Wonderfulness. Joy.
Sigh. Ahhhhh Christmas. Sigh.
