My plan this December was to be moving into our new home, which meant Christmas celebration and tradition would be minimal this year. With house reno moving forward at a snail’s pace, we will not be leaving our rental house just yet. I am so grateful to have a Christmas Elf living in my home – while I was away last week my 15 year old took charge of decorating and baking. Having our favorite Christmas music playing and Christmas lights twinkling, our spirits are lifted and we what’s truly the most important in our lives.
This week I am featuring:
- Superfood Christmas Salad because it was our most viewed post last week, and it looks delicious!
- Christmas Tree and Vignettes in the Sitting Room because this blogger has more holiday spirit than anyone I have seen!
- Tips for Hosting Overnight Guests because it’s that time of year when company comes a-visiting!
- How to Find Christmas Joy in a World of Waiting because we all need to slow down and focus and stop the distractions from pulling us away from the One who is most important!
