Christmas spirit...

...what is Christmas spirit?  I'm guessing we will have a similar definition...

Here is my question to ponder...why is it Christmas spirit?  Why don't we have yummy, merry spirit EVERY day?  Wouldn't the world be a happier place?!  (not that we aren't happy, but you get my drift)

I am generally so tired of Christmas music (I work retail, and we get to start that in mid-October.  That's my birthday time people!! :), but this year I cannot get enough!  I LOVE pandora!  I adore Michael Buble's Christmas CD!  (yes, i bought an actual cd)  I am obsessed with stretching out the Christmas spirit this year.  Not sure why, but it feels smiley and wonderful and good.  I love feeling smiley and wonderful and good, don't you?

Let's stretch the spirit of happy loveliness...just because we can.  Hug the ones you love.  Tell them how much you adore them.  Smile a.l.o.t.  It gives you gorgeous laugh lines (I am rare and love mine).

Merry merry Christmas.

heart hands and smiles to all, and to all a good night.  :)

Look at this lover that we got from Santa.  He has purred his way into our hearts.

twinkle lights & traditions

Why does it become more "possible" to be patient and kind during the holiday season?  I'm not sure I even need an answer to that question...I just love that it "is."  <sigh>

Maybe the twinkle lights help?!  I know that my spirit is lifted from all the Christmas deco's that were hung in our home today.  Smiling from ear to ear admiring the wonderment that surrounds me tonight.  :)  What a wonderful tradition of decorating we have here.  <3

One tradition in particular makes my heart smile a mile.  My Mom's "snoopy tree."  It stands with pride in my kitchen aglow with every ornament she admired.  She loved her tree so much, it even stayed up year-round sometimes.  Ho Ho Ho, my Paw-paw would say!

Wishing you joy & love this holiday season.

Make it magical.

heart hands and smiles. xox
