the morning of Christmas

the tiniest snowflakes cascading down from morning skies

presents wrapped lovingly underneath our Christmas "shree" (tree/shrub... :)

handmade Christmas cards and presents wrapped in twine

emerald green vines freshly soaked with rain

mandarin oranges make Christmas in our house :)

peaceful, restful rain

I'm sure someone wise once said, "the more cream the better"

I hope your Christmas was filled with everything you love! Christmas morning has always been my very favorite part of the day. I love the anticipation of unwrapping gifts, the strong sense of love and excitement in everyone's faces. I love reading the Christmas story as a family, and thanking God for sending His son Jesus to be our Savior. I love the soft music my mom always puts on, and the baking that's brought out with joy. 
What is your favorite part of Christmas?  I would love to hear.

 Much love, Vivi
