6 days until Christmas!

Last week, we caught sight of a few shooting stars during a meteor shower. I love looking at the sky during Christmas (it reminds me of the wise men being led by the star to see Jesus), but this was something especially special. A clear, cold night. A streak of light. A thrill of awe as I remember that we’re actually living in outer space and this kind of thing happens all the time. Best Christmas memory so far!

7 days until Christmas!

I love a good, cheesy Christmas movie or TV special. Having grown up on musicals and The Muppets (so, musicals), my favorite is probably White Christmas. The ‘Sisters’ act gets me every time.

8 days ’til Christmas!

The best part of Christmas? Hands down, it’s the food. Cheesy things, fruity things, spiced things, anything salty. After going gluten- and sugar-free, the list of treats might seem a little less indulgent to some, but give me a fine piece of sharp cheddar, some cinnamon tea, or a dish of fresh salsa and I’m feeling festive.

9 days ’til Christmas!

It’s not easy to be merry and bright when it’s all long lines, noisy shoppers, and those difficult-to-shop-for friends. But Christmas makes us a little more. A little more patient, a little more brave, a little more giving. Choose happiness this Christmas, and make the season a little brighter for everyone around you.

11 days until Christmas!

There’s something about a good old-fashioned carol (or totally obscure song from Medieval times) during Christmas. One favorite that seems to be resurfacing this year seems to be In The Bleak Midwinter. I discovered three new versions this year already! Have you heard of it? Bonus points if you have. If not, you’re in for a treat!

It’s 12 days ’til Christmas, so you know what that means? A colorful countdown from yours truly!

Red and green seem to be the traditional combo for Christmastime, but our tree gets decorated a little differently every year. Sometimes blues, sometimes everything just gets thrown on, occasionally a classy all-white array. Who said tradition had to mean doing the same thing every year?
