WE DON’T NEED A LOT OF HUSTLE AND BUSTLE THIS CHRISTMAS. WE NEED NIGHTTIME DRIVES TO SEE THE LIGHTS, WARM COCOA IN A MUG, FAMILY MOVIE, GAME TIME AND PEACE IN OUR HOMES. WE NEED JOY TO THE WORLD. WE NEED JESUS.
DANCE LIKE FROSTY, SHINE LIKE RUDOLPH, GIVE LIKE SANTA AND LOVE LIKE JESUS.
EVER WONDER WHY THE GRINCH FELT WHAT HE FELT & DID WHAT HE DID? HE FELT ABANDONED EVER SINCE HE WAS A KID. HE HAD NO ONE TO TURN TO WHEN THINGS GOT TOUGH, THOUGHT HE WOULD FIND FULFILLMENT IN STEALING ALL THE STUFF, HIS HEART WAS SMALL, HE DIDN’T UNDERSTAND WHY? UNTIL CINDY LOU CAME , OH SO KIND, SHE SHOWED HIM LOVE & CARED WHEN EVERYONE ELSE TURNED AWAY. HIS HEART GREW 3 TIMES THAT DAY. HE RETURNED ALL THE TOYS BECAUSE HIS CONVICTION WAS TRUE. CINDY LOU SHOWED HIM THE LOVE OF JESUS. WHAT ABOUT YOU? HE CARRIED ALL YOUR HURT, PAIN & REJECTION TO THE CROSS HE WENT, SO YOU CAN KNOW THE LOVE THAT WAS ALWAYS MEANT.
RECIPE FOR A MERRY CHRISTMAS: A DASH OF JOY MIXED WITH A TOUCH OF PEACE, ADD A PINCH OF MAGIC AND STIR WITH HOPE. GARNISH WITH LOVE AND HAVE A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY!
A BABY, A MANGER, A STAR THAT SHINES BRIGHT. A SAVIOR, A PROMISE, ON THAT FIRST CHRISTMAS NIGHT.

A LITTLE BOY ASKED ME IF I HAD EVER SEEN SANTA CLAUS AND I TOLD HIM NO. I TOLD HIM I’VE NEVER SEEN AN IDEA, BUT, I KNOW IDEAS EXIST, BECAUSE IDEAS ARE WHAT MEN LIVE BY. SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT SANTA CLAUS IS JUST AN IDEA BUT, WHAT A WONDERFUL IDEA IT IS. WHAT A WONDERFUL IDEA TO BRING FAMILIES TOGETHER TO WORSHIP OUR LORD AND TO LIVE IN PEACE. WELL, MAYBE – JUST MAYBE- I HAVE SEEN SANTA CLAUS AFTER ALL.
WISHING YOU A GLITTERING, GLIMMERING, GLEAMING, SHIMMERING, SPARKLING, TWINKLING CHRISTMAS.
WHAT A TREE-MENDOUS CHRISTMAS TREE-T
MAY YOU NEVER BE TOO OLD TO SEARCH THE SKIES ON CHRISTMAS EVE. IN THE MAGIC OF IT ALL, WE SHALL ALWAYS BELIEVE IN PEACE, FORGIVENESS AND OPEN HEARTS, KINDNESS, LOVE AND FRESH STARTS. THE MAGIC THAT BRINGS EVERYONE TOGETHER, REMINDS US THAT LIFE IS SHORT AND GIVES US HOPE THAT THINGS CAN ALWAYS GET BETTER.
IF THE HOUSE ISN’T CLEAN, IT’S STILL CHRISTMAS. IF DESSERTS AREN’T MADE, IT’S STILL CHRISTMAS. IF THERE ARE NO DECORATIONS, IT’S STILL CHRISTMAS. IF THE GIFTS AREN’T PURCHASED, IT’S STILL CHRISTMAS. BUT, IF IT’S NOT ABOUT CHRIST, IT’S NOT CHRISTMAS.
WE ARE LIKE A SNOWFLAKE, ALL DIFFERENT IN OUR OWN BEAUTIFUL WAY.
LESSONS FROM A CHRISTMAS TREE – BE A LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS, YOU CAN NEVER WEAR TOO MUCH GLITTER, BRING JOY TO OTHERS, SPARKLE & TWINKLE AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE AND IT’S OKAY TO BE A LITTLE TILTED .
THE GREATEST CHRISTMAS GIFT OF ALL WAS NEVER PLACED BENEATH A TREE. HE LAY WITHIN A MANGER FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD TO SEE.
HAS ANYONE TOLD YOU TODAY JUST HOW AWESOME YOU ARE? YOUR SMILE IS THE BEST DECORATION!
THE CHRISTMAS TREE – FROM A TREE A MANGER WAS MADE, ON THE FIRST CHRISTMAS, IN IT HE LAID. ALSO, FROM A TREE, A CROSS WAS MADE AND ON IT, FOR OUR SINS, THE PRICE HE PAID. I REMEMBER EACH YEAR, AS THE TREE I ADORN, HIS GIFT GIVING BEGAN THE DAY HE WAS BORN.
PLEASE LEAVE ME A COMMENT BELOW, WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING, IDEA AND VIGNETTE.
HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A WONDERFUL NEW YEAR.
Janice, you have outdone yourself again. I am amazed at your vision and the ability to bring it to life. You go girl!
Our lives are filled with joy and “magic” year round with your creative abilities that are like wine and get better with age. This again proves my point that being in your life fortified my theory that “We can’t wait until tomorrow??? Because you get better everyday!!! 😘😉😎
As usual, it’s so difficult to say what I like best. I know I love the wreath above the mantle and those flowers that are on that wreath. The chandelier is outstanding… It just pops. One of the pictures is my favorite where you see the tree on the left side and then you see the reflection of the tree in the mirror on the wall. Love the angles on some of the pictures and how things show up differently from one picture to another. I am especially pleased to see how pretty the tree shows up. I didn’t expect it to show up so well, but you can definitely see the spheres around the tree. The details are really amazing. Every time I look at the pictures, I see something else that I didn’t see before. Thanks for sharing what’s in your head with the rest of us!
