it's beginning to look alot like christmas...

seasons are meant to change. i may fight it, but i'm always so thankful for the new changes after they happen. the process may not be what i would have chosen, but the result is well worth it-like the messy pine needles, putting away of thanksgiving decorations, saying good-bye in exchange for the celebration of the birth of our LORD.

today felt like the start of christmas. i love going to church with the christmas decorations up. i bundled up with my scarf, gloves and pea coat. we put up our christmas tree today. what a strange tradition it is to bring a TREE into our living space! i can't help but love the fresh smell of pine, the sentimental ornaments and glowing lights.

mmmm...the joy of this season makes my heart happy and almost forget the mounds of work to be done in the next few weeks. christmas come soon! =)
