Merry Christmas 2010!

I've finally started decorating for Christmas. No tree, but I think I've put out enough Christmas decor to get the point across. To get that festive spirit a going. The photo above is my BEFORE.

Here's my AFTER…

Wow. The difference is staggering. That silver candle is like a beacon straight to Santa, isn't it? Nothing says, “Happy Birthday, Jesus!” like glitter.

I might throw out another ornament or two, but in the meantime, I wanted to wish you a very merry Christmas. Or as they say on The Holiday, “Happy Christmas!” It has a nice ring to it. I'm so grateful for my blog friends. You guys are such a gift to me and totally lift me up. I wish you a happy, restful, peaceful, calm, Christ-focused, who cares if there's glitter on the floor and glitter up my nose Christmas. It is an honor to know you, to write books that some of you read (thanks, Mom), and to share a few moments a week together. It is an honor to be given this chance to do kingdom work and to make friends across the globe along the way.

You are the tinsel in my day and the ones I think of while writing every book. Or when embarrassing things happen on vacation and I  grab my trusty camera. : )
Merry Christmas and much love.

Hallelujah, we've been found.
A child is born to save us now. . .Jesus.
Hallelujah, light has come
A savior set us free…
