welcome, december.

hard to believe, but it's here. the last month of the year...and, to be honest, i'm a bit blown away by how fast the past...well, year...has flown by.

anyway.

as we move forward, i'm going to attempt to post a few times during the season's craziness. i haven't been in a "picture taking" mood. for a variety of reasons. i have to play a lot of catch up - burning discs, clearing out memory cards, etc.

think i can do it?

ha. i'm not so sure.

so, here we are. december. peppermint. baking. snowmen. delicate ornaments. these are definitely some of my december "feel goods".



what makes me happy this time of year is the lights. i love the lights that decorate trees and homes...those little, electric candles that people put in the window. it's all very comforting. and, well, my kids are basket-cases right now...making a mile-long wish list and asking a million holiday-related questions. they're buzzing with excitement. tapping in to that excitement is a whole other story. recapturing the feeling of what is was like to be young, anticipating all the good things december brings...it's hard for me to do, but my kids give me glimpses of it...reminders from awhile back.

as we head into the height of the holidays, i hope you're able to bring back some of those memories. revel in what makes you feel good and happy and warm inside. twinkling lights. toasty fireplaces. happy elves.

you get the idea. =)
