Well, the Christmas season is in full swing.
Besides cooking, decorating, planning, wrapping, and madly crossing things off the gargantuan "to do" list, I'm also singing, laughing, enjoying, hoping, and loving every second of this magnificent season.
Today, amid the hustle and bustle, why not plan to stop, for even a moment. Think of the reason we even have Christmas. When I think about this, it never ceases to amaze me, even after so many decades of life.
The manger scene shown above is a favorite of mine. It's so pretty. Mary looks young, sweet, and attentive to her little baby son. Joseph is nearby, protecting his young family.
The angel in the background was a new addition a couple of years ago.
I put the manger scene on the table in the front hallway. When home, I like to burn a little votive candle in a red glass holder near the baby Jesus.
