Just popping in - ever so briefly - to send you a smile and a Christmas greeting!
It's hectic here; the house is not decorated unless you count the boxes strewn here and there - the boxes with the decorations inside of them.
Martha Stewart would be horrified.
But, I'm okay with it all, determined not to spaz out, determined to keep the season's magic in my heart.
So much magic waiting for us to notice it.
Slow down, have some coffee or tea - whatever suits your fancy.
Breathe in...hold...breathe out.
Smell the peppermint and cinnamon.
Savor a homemade cookie.
Celebrate the magic.

What a lovely shot! The DOF is excellent, really showcasing the little crystals. Very pretty!

Such a pretty photo...love that bit of bokeh in the background. Sooooo behind schedule here too, and like you, I'm determined to not let it get to me. Somehow everything will come together. It's the magic of the season, right??? :)
