It's coming!

The time is drawing near.  The day will be here before we know it. 

 And then, sadly, it will all be over even more quickly than it came.

I love Christmas time.  For many reasons.

I haven't always.  There have been times I was down and out.  Overwhelmed.  Frustrated.  Or just.....tired
. 

I'll be honest....last year I was kind of a Scrooge.  I just never did get motivated enough to really decorate.  This year I have been so excited.  I have no idea.

But really, as a child of the King, I have every reason to celebrate!

One of my most favorite things is the tree lights at night.  I love to sit in the room after everyone is settled in and turn off all the other lights.  The soft glow of the tree lights {and this year the mantle lights!} are super relaxing.  I have been up way too late these last few nights alone with my laptop, soft music, and glistening lights.  I love it!

Late nights make for really slow mornings, but I'll trade it for the short time it's here.

We are getting ready.  Slowly.  I've had a few speedbumps.  {like all the tree lights going out AFTER it was completely decorated!} Thankfully Mama was here to help me figure that one out and fortunately we found the problem right away;)



I like things simple.  Not so cluttered.  Therefore my Christmas decorating is simple.  Not too much. 



I think clutter makes me crazy.  Literally.



So, for now, this is it.  We'll get there.  For now we are enjoying what we got.

And, of course the sunset ;)



Haaaaaaaaapy Friday!
