It has been quite some time.

Yesterday I was blessed to have the day off, and though I was busy with much to do I enjoyed the respite from work.

And soon I will return, but now I am enjoying a lazy morning by the fire and the beautifully lit Christmas tree. Around this time of year my mind and heart are flooded. How I love the memories of Christmases past and exciting are the ones to come with my family and friends.

I hope all who read are having a wonderful Christmas season. A season of His love and tender mercy. A season of fireplaces, Christmas trees, warm wishes, hot chocolate, late night laughs, close-cutt wrapping paper, shopping, and Love.
