Are you as shocked as I am at the date on the calendar? Where did the time go? The stores are stocked for the holiday and the flyers are constantly arriving in our mailboxes inviting us to partake in the sales and festivities. But that is not where Christmas really begins. It begins in our hearts and hopefully stays there all year. Although with the coming of the official Christmas season, we have the fun of watching everyone (or most everyone) get into the Christmas spirit. Many of you will have family coming for big family reunions and celebratWions, while others, like hubby and me are empty nesters with small families. We are excitedly looking forward to celebrating a quiet holiday with our lovely daughter. Christmas is special to us all. Whatever the case at your house, be sure to enjoy each moment and take some special photos. Don’t worry about getting the whole group in each shot, but rather, concentrate on getting a good shot of each member of the group. These will be the special treasures in years to come. As the family celebrates together, listen to the stories they tell and write some of them down to share with family in your journal or scrapbook pages. Let’s create some pages now using some of the fun Creatables and fun techniques.

Let me take this opportunity to wish you each the most wonderful and blessed Christmas. And may joy and happiness be yours in the coming year! Celebrate the reason for the season and hug your family and friends! That is your assignment for this month and please meet me back here to ring in the new year!!

Hugs,
Thena
