Merry Christmas!

Dear Friends and Fellow Bloggers,

There are so many things to love about Christmas . . . carols that sing of Jesus' birth and joy to the world, the scents of the season that fill the air and tempt our tummies, the radiant beams of lights from rooftops to tree tops, and the sight of our homes and hearths decorate to usher in the most joyous season of the year. It is a season marked by giving and sharing and caring. Christmas truly is the most beautiful holiday of them all. Beautiful to behold with the eye and the heart!

I pray that each of you will be drawn close to Jesus, the One whose birthday we celebrate. It is my hope that through the sights and symbolism of the season you will invite Him to fill your heart and home with His incredible love today, throughout the holiday season and throughout the new year.

As it was more than 2,000 years ago, children are the heart of Christmas. And sometimes, it takes a child to remind us what Christmas is really all about. Watch this familiar video.
