Keeping Christmas in my Heart(Sunday Snapshot)

Christmas Red Coat-7


I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.
 
  ~ Charles Dickens
 

Red Christmas Coat Storyboard

As much as I enjoy seeing the Christmas decorations and giving gifts to people I love.
  It is easy to feel a lot of pressure to get the decorating & shopping done, the cards sent, the presents wrapped and all of the other activities going on this time of year. 
 Unfortunately, it is way too easy to forget about the reason for the season. 
Getting out into the quiet of the snow with Grace was a great way to get back to what is really important: love, family, simple beauty and God. 
 The blessings of the season are with us everyday. 
 We should try to enjoy them as much as we can. 
Time passes so quickly and these days will be fond memories before we know it.

A Christmas Carol

The shepards had an angel,
The wise men had a star;
But what have I, a little child,
To guide me home from far,
Where glad stars sing together,
And singing angels are?

~ Christina Rossetti
written in 1856

These are simply stunning. Grace gets more and more beautiful each time I see your photos. Absolutely adore her coat. The color is breathtaking against the snow and trees.

p.s. I'm trying to do just as you write. It's hard at times when you have little ones that really want to help, yet get in the way. ;-)
