That’s what it’s all about

The excitement is tangible! Everything is “amazing” already! And that’s what it’s all about. The pure joy. The belief in the magic that is Christmas.

It’s been a topsy turvey whirlwind since the last post.

Grampa Dan and Nicky

#Sundaystills meets the 12 Festive BonBon’s

For several years I posted daily in December. My friend and I do an Kindness Advent Calendar and the posts tied into the activities. It was, I felt at the time, a chance to connect with readers and encourage them to see the season in a Kindness frame. It was fairly taxing pulling together a post every day along with the activities so this year I am switching things up. I am still committed to the Kindness Advent Calendar but I am attempting a multi blog challenge here with this one post that will cover “all bases”.

Today’s advent activity started early this am, although not on purpose.

Motley Crew
