An Old-Fashioned Family Christmas




It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here!  Almost every year for the past twenty years, my family has traveled to the mountains for Christmas.  It is without a doubt my favorite time of year.  My mom has a magical touch when it comes to decorating for the holidays and our cabin is always extra cozy and
Christmas-y.  





Each year, we save up our time off so we have some extra days to spend here around the holidays.   Those days leading up to Christmas are filled with excitement and there is something extra special about a white Christmas.  Snow blankets the world in quiet and peace as we step away from the noise of our lives and the busyness of our days to reflect, ponder and rest.


Each year, our anticipation grows as we look forward to sledding, hot cocoa, warm cider, games, delicious meals, naps by the fire, days spent in pajamas, walks outside, Christmas movies, homemade sweets and of course lots and lots of snow!  







Since arriving, we have had over a foot of fresh snow fall, and there are predictions for a big storm on on Christmas Eve with expectations of at least ten inches or more still to fall!  


It goes without saying that there is no place I'd rather be!  






May your days be merry and bright...and may all your Christmas' be white!
