ramblings from an arkansas farm girl
I hear there’s a sleigh soon headed our way. With only three days until Christmas, I imagine everyone who wants to decorate for Christmas has already done so. But if you are still looking for a little inspiration, I have 5 easy Christmas decorating ideas to share—ideas that are as practical as they are festive.
Yes, to practical!Continue Reading
If you need help boosting your holiday spirit this year, maybe I can help. I’ve heard several friends say they can’t get into the mood of Christmas this year. Also, I’ve been slow to find my jingle too, which is not like me in the least. Of course with so much turmoil in the world, it’s easy to feel out of sync with the holiday. Here’s the thing—it is completely possible to worry and show concern for those suffering while still being grateful and celebrating the good in your life.
One doesn’t have to cancel the other.
Today I’ve jotted down 20 ways to get into the holiday spirit. These are ideas that work for me, and maybe, just maybe, one or two will up your holly jolly game too.
Dear Sunday Letter friends,
Oh my goodness, November was a complete blur for me. And now December is here, and I want time to slow so I can savor every moment of the most wonderful time of the year.
I don’t know when I’ve been so excited for Christmas. I think attending the Christmas parade and tree lightning in Littleton, Colorado, on the day after Thanksgiving really gave me a head start. Also, because my son and daughter-in-law will be with us this Christmas, I’m over-the-moon excited.
It has been several years since either of my kids came home for Christmas. Even though we all live within a short 1.5 hour flight from each other, that often feels way too far away.
Anyway, with only 28 days left in the year(!), I hope to appreciate every little sparkly bit.
