I haven't decorated very much but I'm trying to make better choices that allow me to enjoy the season. After all, it's not all about the stuff, it's about our friends, family, and what's in our hearts. Merry Christmas!

I am trying to take some time in each day or evening to just truly enjoy a moment of the season. Reflect. Pray. Listen to the music. Look at the lights or watch a Christmas movie with Annie. I reflect on the past and I also have moments of the pain of what was. Of how life should have been if my ex had been able to be the man he had vowed to be so long ago. But then I brush that pain aside. And I think of that baby so long ago that came into the world for me and us all. That loves me and holds me in His hands and has me right where he knows I should be. And I think of all the gifts and blessings in my life and I embrace the season fully with His peace and joy. <br /><br />I love that you're starting new traditions in this new chapter of your lives. I look forward to the new chapters ahead for me too. With my grown children and I pray someone special in my life again. I currently have a pretty special guy in my life and it's been fun just enjoying the new journey. Blessings to you all. <br />🎄 ♥️ carrie@northwoods scrapbookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16337824046780952876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-830473372238505362.post-31128034596647033352021-12-15T16:54:17.051-08:002021-12-15T16:54:17.051-08:00I love all of your traditions, and this new one so...I love all of your traditions, and this new one sounds just about perfect!! Cookies, music, cocoa and family??? That's all we need, right? You're so right in how each stage of life brings new happenings at Christmas time. This year has been much more relaxing and easy. I feel in the true spirit more, which is nice! :) Blessings to you!!

And the cookie decorating tradition is a delightful one too. I love that picture of Peyton. She has a warm smile. Your evening of pizza, decorating cookies, and homemade hot chocolate sounds wonderful. Traditions are so important to me as well. I still put a big black initial under each package, just like my Mom did when we were kids, and I was happy to see Jess doing the same thing with her packages this year. And new traditions come, like you said, and as I'm looking out my window, I see snow! Lots of snow, and am so happy I have a White Christmas like I hoped for.<br /><br />Your cookies look so Yummy, and I want one with my coffee haha.<br /><br />Have a merry Christmas week, Billie Jo. This was such a heartwarming post.<br /><br />~SheriRed Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.com
