Christmas Porch Pot Season is here! The anticipation for the Christmas season seems to last all year long…and the time is upon us again! It’s time to start cutting pine boughs and berries and filling any container I can find with a lovely mixture of reds and greens! We live on 20 acres with access to several different kinds of pines here in Michigan.

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.
