My little man is enjoying his first candy cane of the season. A beautiful way to step into the Christmas way of things...A sweet, old fashioned start to an ancient celebration of Emanuel...God With Us.Take care of yourselves during this busy time. Take moments out amongst the busyness to savor the flavors of the holiday. Don't allow the bills and the crazy schedule to rob from you these simple joys. Make a conscious effort to slow down a bit and have a cup of warm egg nog or a pumpkin spice latte. Kiss your babies, give your man a 30 second hug before he leaves for the day.
Smell the evergreens and touch all that glitters and shimmers and calls out the little child still hidden in your soul. Sit in the dark of your living room with only the lights of your tree glimmering. Write a special someone a personal note and stop to hold the door for the busy stranger behind you at the post office.
Hire a sitter and go shopping with your loved one, remembering to sit at a Starbucks and talk of the intimate endearments you hold for them. Be filled with the love of the Savior and spill that love forth onto all whom you meet. And for goodness sakes, eat a few candy canes along the way!
