"Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful." ~ Norman Vincent Peale

Well…

I have been a busy little elf 

hanging the stockings, 

trimming the tree 

and filling the house with twinkly lights

 so Ren Man could drag his tired body into a Christmas wonderland.

At this moment, he is sound asleep on the couch 

and I am finally catching up with family and friends 

through the beauty of much anticipated cards and letters. 

Meanwhile,

as loved ones pop in and out over the next week,

I am counting my blessings and savoring the magic of Christmas.
