This is my tree. Decorations are up in my house, Christmas music has been playing since late November, baking has started and gifts nearly all bought.
I am happy. And also very blessed. This time of year I realize just how fortunate we are to have a healthy family and each other, copious amounts of food and a warm,loving place to call home. No matter how much I talk about Christmas and how I love it, I never forget that we are blessed.
