There is a big mistake that we can often make leading up to Christmas. Too much rushing around and not enjoying the MOMENTS.
For many years now, I have treated the whole holiday like a season, and not allow all this preparation to be for ONE DAY.
So I am glad I can pause and enjoy the moments.
Like …

enjoying when Mom puts up her Christmas Village…

and you take this childlike trip into a whole Winter Wonderland.

Not much can compare turning down the lights and seeing the tree decorated.

This year Rubà is older and it’s worth stopping everything to watch her take in Christmas…

…and see how she marvels at the tree and all the decorations.

So cute as she bends over to peek at the lower ones…

A moon ornament…

Shhh….

Even Jasper gets into the spirit as he finds a place to rest under the tree.
