First Sunday in Advent.

This is the first Sunday of Advent in the Christmas Season. Orthodox Christmas celebrations extend the holiday until January 7! Music, lights, cookies, and beautiful decorations will abound and of course the Christmas tree. Big debate on artificial or real! I will be slowly decorating this week, little bits at a time but playing lots of Christmas music! This year cookies will be made from almond and coconut flour with coconut sugar! Yummy! and it doesn't hurt!

This is the most wonderful time of the year! 

Advent ~ 2nd Week

Breaking down the big job of Christmas into smaller activities is how I get things done during the Advent Season. First Week was shopping, Christmas cards, mailing packages and practicing the special music of the Season. Now in the Second Week, I tackled decorating. The tree is up and bejeweled, the windows decorated with tiny blinking lights and shiny garlands, the house has angels, stockings, candles, and lights throughout and the wreath is on the front door.

It seems during this time more and more angels begin to appear here and there. A friend made me this beautiful name tag that I wanted to share. This is my Praying Cinnamon Angel.

We're having eggnog and cookies Sunday to sit back with and enjoy the festive house. Wonderful Christmas music will fill the air!
