...12.8.13...

















the
best of
all gifts around
any Christmas tree,
the presence of a happy
family all wrapped up in each
other. 

~Burton Hillis

i was just reading.
december eighth.
from simple abundance-a daybook of comfort and joy
by sarah ban breathnach.
in a nutshell.
it says that we, women, make ourselves.
crazy.
trying to make Christmas perfect.
from presents to parties.
and traditions.
when what it really comes down to.
is just enjoying.
the blessings of the Holy Child.
and the gift of family.
enjoy the moments.
amen.
welcome to coffee hour.
welcome to this Sunday morning.
just BE.
