The festivities of Christmas are usually there long after Christmas is gone, stretching to the new year and even beyond

There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort

Wear clothes that tell a real story

Life goes through moods and has its swings. They will pass. You just need to hang on.

Life won’t sparkle unless you do

Every time a bell rings an angel gets their wings

Some Christmas ornaments do more than glitter and glow…

… they represent a gift of love, given a long time ago.

The smell of pine, spruce and the smell of a Christmas tree, those to me, are scents of the holidays

We expect too much at Christmas. It’s got to be magical. It’s got to go right. Feasting. Fun. The perfect present. All the anticipation. Take it easy. Love is the thing. The rest is tinsel

Having hope is like lighting a candle in the dark
