Do you feel stressed? Too busy? Like you cannot possibly get everything done this week before all that sand runs through the glass?
Maybe you just need a good old-fashioned hug from a snowman! 
Things here are busy too, but I am going about everything with a song in my heart. I am trying very diligently to have gratitude over all that we enjoy as Americans and especially as God’s creation.
As much as I determine not to get too caught up in the rush that so easily happens this time of year, I always find that there are last-minute things to do; there are invitations to go here and there, and we have company coming that we are very much looking forward to and the house must be…perfect?
No. Not perfect. Just cleaned up nicely in honor of our guests. They’ll hopefully see that we live here and that this is a house full of love.
I’ll be breaking from my blog for a few days while I enjoy my children being free from school, while I bake and savor the daily arrival of beautiful cards from friends and family, and to enjoy visiting all the blogs that I love to visit but don’t have time to every single day.
Enjoy the holiday season!

Well, I will have to remember that “prescription” whenever I am feeling too stressed out;)
As always.. your nature photos are a joy my dear♥
Oh I would love to hug a snowman. You know every year, there is always things that never get done. I always have to remind myself that, remind myself Christmas is wonderful no matter what, I have to remember that it is my Saviors birth I am celebrating, not a perfect Christmas picture xoxoxo Clarice
Hugging a snowman…now that would give me the shivers!
Think I’ll confine my hugging experiences to sweet little girls and warm kitties! I have a few last minute things to do, too, but nothing to get stressed out about. If it doesn’t happen, that’s okay. Have a blessed Christmastime with your family and friends, Lynn.
Dear Lynn,
Brrr! Snowmen give icy hugs
. It’s snowing here right now, a nice snow globe effect, swirling prettily around the house.
I do hope you will have a wonderful, non-stressful time with your family!
A merry Christmas to you,
Marqueta
Merry Christmas, Lynn!
You have more snow then us!! I love the pictures of the red berries! You should frame them!!
Even though I don’t comment as often, I am reading and continue to enjoy your world!!
Your friend,
Michele/ivy
great attitude about keeping a song in your heart as you do your last minute things – i will try to adhere to that as well!
wishing a very merry christmas to you and your wonderful family,
and blessings and good health to you in 2010.
friends,
connie
Love the pictures of the berries Lynn! Wish I had a snowman to hug! Just have to hug my dear little girls!
Merry Christmas!
Blessings
Shirley
A hug from a snowman… I so could use one…
Wishing you and your family a Very Merry Christmas…
Louise
As usual, Lynn, you are so right. I am getting a “forced slow down” with my daughter having a serious case of the flu. It is easy to let unimportant things go when there is no alternative. Well, the alternative would be to get all upset! And that would help no one. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas.
Jenn
Lynn, last minute blessings coming your way – hoping you and your wonderful family enjoy a special Christmas.
Holiday hugs – Mary.
Merry Christmas, Lynn!
Thank you Diane!
Clarice, I know!
Calm does not always come naturally to me. I have to remind myself. 
Emily, those are perfect hugging choices! Thanks.
Marqueta, you are right! But snow comes so infrequently here, we just love it!
Happy Holidays Michele! I don’t always have time to comment either! Whew! So many blogs, so little time!
Connie, thank you! I hope you had a lovely Christmas and have a Happy New Year.
Thank you Shirley! Yes, hug your girls!!
Louise, I hope your Christmastime was lovely!
Jenn, I do hope your daughter is better! That’s no fun, but it certainly does slow us down and make us count the real blessings. I hope your daughter is well. I’ll be heading over to your blog soon to see what’s going on.
Thank you Mary! I hope yours was lovely!
Thanks Liane! I hope you had a Merry Christmas as well!
