The sun is streaming into the south-facing windows as the snow blows around outside.
Across the street, smoke rises from a neighbor's chimney.
I'm snuggly warm with a new fleece from my sister-in-law and a big mug of green tea from Steep Me A Cup Of Tea, where they remember that my favorite is genmaicha.
Our home is a lovely little lived-in mess with baby toys and pillows strewn about and I have no urge to clean it up.
The evening plans include the annual family crab leg dinner -and Mom is trying out a new recipe for French Onion Soup, now that she discovered where the Gruyere cheese is located in the grocery store.
My best friends are coming home for the holidays and I can't wait to see them.
My little brother is home from college on the west coast, too - haven't seen him for over a year.
The Christmas cards are lining the mantle, messages of love and joy from friends and family near and far.
Everything, everything is just so wonderful and I feel like the luckiest gal in the world. Wishing you peace and love, have a very Merry Christmas.
Where DO they hide the guyere? I've been looking for it since moving here!

Pam, check the deli section (by the deli counter w/ the salads and pre-sliced meats). And Biz, thanks for the warm wishes. :)
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you, Beth! It sounds like you had a wonderful holiday; it just gets better as the kids get older, too!
ReplyDeleteThe Christmas picture of your son is adorable! He looks so happy! It gave me a warm feeling just reading your post ... you really can't ask for anything more out of life! Merry Christmas!
