Creating beauty and all sorts of cozy this season is what motivates me to this. I want the Christmas season to be one of many memories for my kids, memories of Christmas tree hunting, hot cocoa by the fireside, gift-giving, Silent Night singing, and their favorite meals with their favorite people. A time to truly reflect on the deepest most generous gift of ALL time: Jesus Christ in the manger. The One who came to this earth to lavish on His children an eternal life of fellowship with Him. Our Savior. Our Friend.
