It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas ...

Happy Holidays blogging friends! It looks like we may have a cold Christmas after all!
For those of you who have spent much time in the southern states, you know that Christmas can be anything but cold. As a Texan from Houston, there were many Christmases where we wore shorts and summer dresses to holiday parties.

As a child I dreamed of a “White Christmas.” (Maybe that’s why Bing Crosby’s movie of the same name is an absolute must-view holiday ritual for me.)

I wanted nothing more than to make snow angels, have a snow ball fight and go sledding. Now as an adult, a White Christmas would be beautiful … as well as give me a reason to curl up on the couch with a cup of hot cocoa, my dog and a good book. Or maybe give me the motivation to finish one or two of those homemade quilts I keep starting before distractions set in.

Either way, same goal, different reasons!

Now many of my Northern friends think I’ve lost my mind and tell me stories of shoveling snow, driving on icy roads and trying to keep entries into the house clean from discarded snow … hence the curled up on the couch scenario. A cup of hot cocoa can fix all problems!

It doesn"t matter to me. Now that my homework is turned in, I am determined to have tons of holiday fun. As you can see the tree is up and decorated ... twice. My Christmas angels has been unwrapped and fluffed and lighted and the Christmas candles are burning.

Well, whatever your holiday dreams are, I can say without hesitation … Stay warm! I hope above all you have a great time with your Family and other loved ones. Here’s to having all your holiday wishes come true!

Until our next cup of tea ...
