Today I'm thankful for Christmas.
I have been so excited about getting together our Christmas decorations! We never have really decorated our home for Christmas, but since we have a family now, and since I think there's a possibility that I'll be bed-resting it up for the holidays, I have wanted to get our family Christmas decorations in order!
Last week I asked Seth what "Christmas Color Scheme" we should go with, and he looked at me like I was crazy. Because, you know, are we going to go with a burgandy and forest green, or are we sticking with a pea green and bright red with turquoise accents, just to modernize it? Or should we do a multi-green-and-red-all-over look? Or, should we stick with silver and gold and just do some accents of color?? The possibilities are endless!
Mostly I'm just excited because Christmas says to me a few words: Believe. Give. Receive (the light of Christ, the Christmas spirit, the blessings that God is waiting to give us...). Love. Family. And who doesn't want to remember all those things every time you smell pine trees and cinnamon and peppermint and cloves?
AND, luckily Burbank likes to celebrate their Christmas-y things starting TONIGHT! I'm so excited to go to their festival and get in the Christmas spirit! I bought our tree yesterday and started Christmas Shopping yesterday, too! I just love the spirit of Christmas!

I have very much enjoyed reading your thankful posts, even though I have been a terrible comment maker! I love that you are creating a Christmas color scheme. We pretty much go with a memory tree (I have collected an ornament a year from my mom with something to symbolize the events of that year) and a lot of random decor.... but colored tree lights are a must for me! :) And why is it that you suspect a bed-resting holiday season? Are you doing ok?
I'm with ya! It's my favorite time of year!!!
