Getting into the spirit of things

It helps to get into the Christmas spirit when all the trees are decorated in sparkling white.

So tonight the lights went onto our tree, some silver garland and the ornaments we have collected over the last ten years.  Our rather “interesting” Fraser fir with it’s crooked top and not too even trim has been transformed into a thing of beauty. 

We are starting to get ready.  Even the Tourtiere is made – all six of them.  But now there are only 5.  At this rate I will be making more before Christmas.

And today, early I celebrated a little of my Swedish heritage by going to Birdie’s Santa Lucia celebration.  Yum – cardamom rolls and spicy cookies and best of all – good strong coffee.

To think about

Ephesians 4: 9 and 10

” …Christ first came down to the lowly world in which we live.  The same one who came down is the one who ascended higher than all the heavens, so that his rule might fill the entire universe. “

We have a lot to celebrate.

So I am off to a St. Lucia Day breakfast to celebrate our preparations for Christ’s coming, friendships and my Swedish heritage.
