Christmas is coming

It's December!


And though the events of our Thanksgiving week put me behind schedule, it's beginning to look a little like Christmas around here.


Come, Thou long-expected Jesus

Born to set Thy people free;

From our fears and sins release us,

Let us find our rest in Thee.

Israel's Strength and Consolation,

Hope of all the earth Thou art;

Dear Desire of every nation--

Joy of every longing heart.


Born Thy people to deliver,

Born a Child and yet a King.

Born to reign us forever,

Now Thy gracious kingdom bring.

By Thine own eternal Spirit,

Rule in all our hearts alone;

By Thine all-sufficient merit,

Raise us to Thy glorious throne.


Now tell me--have you done your Christmas decorating? Have you posted about it? If so, please let me know--I'd love to gain some inspiration from you!

  1. So pretty and you are not behind. That is what I was thinking at first, too. Then I realized that because so many started so early it made us feel like we were late. It is just now the first of December!Soon Christmas decor will be up before Halloween in people's homes.

  5. The outside of your home looks wonderful. I'll bet at night that your big lighted wreath looks great.

    I've done all of the decorating that I'll have time to do. (Unless it snows and I have a day off from school!)

  9. No Christmas decorations yet.
    I guess it's a hold over from childhood. Both parents have birthdays in December so we would wait until after my dad's birthday (today!) and decorate the house. Hubby works today, but we're 'on it' really soon, like Monday.
    Richella, your home looks lovely.
    Peace.
