What's not to love about December?

A few things I love this season...

-Being alone together. Going to a coffee shop with a book and my headphones and sitting in a corner with someone I love doing the same thing right next to me.
-Drinking a warm drink with both hands coddled around it and my face planted in the cup.
-Sybil's crinkled nose when she smiles so hard her face looks like it will explode.
-The sound of leaves blowing across the pavement.
-White Christmas lights strung beautifully, simply, and with tact.
-Kissing Sybil's forehead before I put her to sleep.
-Sweetly hugging my husband when he gets home from a hard day's work.
-Listening to instrumental Christmas music and thinking about Jesus as a baby.
-Climbing into a warm bed with freshly washed sheets, crisp and tight.
-The hope and promise of a Savior, who came and is coming, around every cold corner.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays, friends. Remember the reason for celebrating...Jesus, the only one who saves. Blessed be the Incarnate God.
