I have been watching the leaves every morning for the past two weeks and how they just seem to glow as the sun comes up. I look at the beautiful blue skies and can’t believe it’s almost Christmas. There are days when I would love to have it cold and snowy and to just once have a white Christmas. Looking outside to see the beautiful, freshly fallen snow. To be able to have a fire in the fireplace without opening up windows so you don’t roast. I do know, though, that there are a lot of blessings with the sunshine. It makes it a lot easier to do Christmas shopping. I don’t have to shovel anything or scrape ice off of my windshield in order to drive. One of these days though I am determined to be in front of a roaring fire on Christmas Day while it snows and blows outside. Until then I will appreciate the beautiful colors outside my window right now.

It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air.
