Good Monday morning, my friends! And Happy December! I am currently sipping my morning coffee from one of my very favorite Christmas mugs. I have a whole set of these Rudolph mugs I got when the kids were young. Rudolph will always be my favorite! How was your weekend? Here, it was filled with the end of Thanksgiving—turkey soup, turkey sandwiches, pumpkin pie—and the beginning of all things Christmas!
Friday night, we went to the tree-lighting ceremony in the center of town. It was like a Hallmark Christmas movie! If you have seen Gilmore Girls, you can relate to me expecting to see Taylor and Kirk around or thinking we could pop into Luke's for coffee and cocoa.
On Saturday, we attended a beautiful mass for the first Sunday of Advent. Then, we came home, lit the first Advent candle, and enjoyed some turkey soup. It was delicious if I do say so myself!
The remainder of the weekend was spent in cozy clothes, doing some online shopping, sipping hot coffee, and planning all the fun things we hope to do this Christmas season. Will we get to all of them? Probably not. There is no shame in not going and doing and filling every free moment. Sitting by the tree, listening to Christmas music, sipping cocoa, and eating a cookie or two is one way to enjoy the Christmas season and bring peace to yourself as well.
Have a cozy Monday, and thank you for visiting!
