Although the month is not yet over I find myself reflecting on what has been quite a month (so far)!

Some things that I will remember from this December:

• Seeing the reaction on my daughter’s face when we turned on our outside Christmas lights for the first time.
• Feeling more rushed and pressed for time than any holiday season before this one.
• Watching my daughter see the snow fall for the first time.
• The excitement and work involved in preparing to host my first Christmas at home.
• How surreal it feels to be going about the usual holiday routines with a tiny new person in tow.

Hope this month is as memorable for all of you! Happy holidays!

 I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys.  ~Charles Dickens
