It's Christmas Eve!!! In some ways I love this day even more than Christmas. I love the anticipation, the preparation, the feeling of it all.

I have been out of the house since 6:00AM and now I am just relaxing a bit before I start dinner. I have been to the grocery store, CVS, the orchard, and even the papercrafting store (my Mom dragged me...I was kicking and screaming, really...). I have wrapped gifts and stuffed stockings and thought about baking (haven't done that yet...I may not). I have journaled and scrapbooked and sang Christmas carols horribly off-key! ;-) I have snuggled with Bailey and sat and stared out the window at the snow. I have procrastinated...because I just wouldn't be me if I didn't! And now here I am, with a wish for all of you, my lovelies, my blog friends, all wonderful, that everything is merry and bright in your world tonight!!!

{Wouldn't this just be THE cutest place to be on Christmas Eve?!?}

And don't forget to track Santa's journey around the globe!!!

This sentiment was in one of the cards we received this year and I wanted to share:

~* Seasons of white, cold the night,

stars shine bright, all is right. *~

Merry Christmas Eve!!!
