For some happy, happy, happy news! Visit here!

                                           

.: I appreciate the quiet meditation that lighting the candles on the Advent spiral brings :.

As the outside world around us is quieted in a shimmering blanket of snow, our hearts are warmed by the sight of the many twinkling lights that adorn our Christmas tree.  As we settle in to our evening the scent of spiced cider fills the room, only the light from the tree, the fire from the hearth and the beeswax candle lights glowing from our advent spiral light our room.

                                           

.: All twenty-four candles are now lit on this Christmas Eve :.

Their glow fills us with peace and a quiet excitement reminding us that Christmas is near!

                                           

.: Finding peace in the gentle glow of the Advent candles :.

As we prepare to light the last candle on our Advent spiral we sit in meditation of this season.

                                           

.: Noticing and appreciating the reflection of the candles, as if they are floating out in the snow :.

As we celebrate this Christmas may we all be wrapped in love and togetherness with our families. May our spirits be renewed on this day. May we delight in our children and their excitement and join them in child-like wonder and joy!

                                           

.: My sweet children sitting together sharing smiles and love :.

 From our family to yours, we wish you peace and a celebration filled with great happiness, light, and joy!

Merry Christmas Friends!
