The season is almost over.  I have to say it has been a really nice one for me this year.   I had decided early on to just slow down and enjoy it.  Most of my shopping was done online, I never did have to make a trip to the mall.  Instead time was spent with friends enjoying a nice dinner and a cranberry martini or two.   

 

 

 

 

 I made a visit to Santa and Mrs. Claus with the grandkids then we enjoyed a big pancake and sausage breakfast afterwards.  They have spent a couple of nights with grandma in their newly made up bedroom.  We have spent lots of time reading books, singing songs and dancing.  Nothing beats dancing with these two little sweeties!

  

  

 

 

Early mornings have been spent with a cup of coffee and Jane Austen.  So far I have read Pride and Prejudice and I am in the middle of Persuasion.  I do love a good classic.

 

 

 

 

I have a whole stack of books pulled out to read again to inspire me for the new year.  And my new sewing room is bright and warm and ready for me to get busy in. 

 

I fully believe that we choose the joy in our life.   I hope that you have had a joyful holiday season!
