I do this by creating light hearted personal Christmas cards and sending them to all our family and friends with a personal note attached. This year's theme featured my family on the front with a caption of "guess who stole Santa's cookies?" it's a lot of fun and if it makes one person who needs to smile do so then I accomplished my goal.Tracyhttp://www.flouronmynose.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231649446485548787.post-22427610423612093892010-12-23T06:41:42.571-05:002010-12-23T06:41:42.571-05:00This is the first December with my son, and it'...This is the first December with my son, and it's been amazing.

We moms of two boys must think alike! ;) Much like Christmases past, what really warms my heart and takes the festive spirit to "that" level, is listening to my boys talk amongst themselves and allow me that precious glimpse into the magic that exists at their tender ages. *sigh* Hearing them talk about Baby Jesus, Santa, gingerbread houses,and our local food drive all in one conversation makes me smile... and file away these treasured memories for the years to come. From our home to yours, and all the readers of your snappy blog, Merry Christmas! xotbrooksmartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16684531997970236393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231649446485548787.post-7685669484247381282010-12-22T20:12:14.758-05:002010-12-22T20:12:14.758-05:00I love december because I love spending time with ...I love december because I love spending time with friend and family.
