Is your Christmas season already hectic and hurried? In the midst of it of all, I hope there’s a place in your home or your memories that is restful and comforting. Here’s mine: this is a picture that David took in our house last Christmas. I love our little Christmas tree forest and our fireplace. The sight of the trees and the sound of the crackling fire never fail to relax me.
I wish I had some impressively deep insights for you in this post. Instead, I offer simply a prayer that you can carve out a time and place to rest in the warmth of Christmas and its true meaning.

I really love that photo…it relazes me too.
I love to read by the light of our Christmas tree and lights on the mantle. They are so warming & soothing.
Thanks for sharing your photo…hopefully I’ll get to see the real thing soon.

That photo gives me the warm fuzzies. You all should make that a postcard or photo card for Christmas!

Perhaps this will warm your heart, too, sister: “And the stockings were hung by the chimney with care…”
