It's the most wonderful time of the year! My sentiments exactly! I love Christmas and spreading Christmas cheer. This year is no different. The day after Thanksgiving, I put all the "regular" dishes and dinnerware away and brought out the Christmas china. There's just something about a lemon poppy seed muffin atop a Christmas tree adorned gold-rimmed plate. Or "Tazo Joy" tea in a dainty little Christmas cup and saucer. It makes the day start out bright! http://www.tazo.com/default.asp?hasFlash=1&init==
A new tradition this year in our home is the Advent calendar. The children are so excited each morning to pop open the tiny cardboard window and be allowed to eat a bitsy piece of chocolate first thing in the morning. They are so cute! (And they're not asking me everyday "How many more days 'til Christmas?")
Massie Avenue is dotted with holiday lights on many of the houses. We even noticed that the neighbors on either side, who didn't put out lights last year, have decked the fence and doorposts with garland and lights! We're sure it's due to our influence from last year. Not that we go Griswold with lights, just a few simple strands of white tiny lights, garland, and a few red bows. Very few houses were trimmed in holiday fare last year, a trend we hope has changed for the better.
Merry Christmas!
