12/22/2010 Almost Christmas

I just had the sweetest surprise when elementary school children rang our door bell this evening and sang Christmas carols for us. I LOVED IT! I'm reminded of the simple things about this holiday. If I had only this gift of song tonight it would be enough for me. Nice to hear the sweet voices of the children giving a little Christmas cheer to those around them. Merry Christmas All.

I love Christmas. There is something wonderful and magical about designing that perfect feeling of the holidays. You'll find the traditional to whimsical expression of what makes each family interpet the holiday cheer in these photos. Don't forget to put out the milk and cookies though...Santa's on his way!
