Subtle Changes

With the turn of the calendar

something magical begins to happen.

December

not only ushers in

frosty mornings...jingle music...

and peppermint mocha's...

it alters the way we see.

Gone is the grapevine...

in favor of pine. Windowsills of yesterday... Offer a new outlook.

Simple adornments...

Are given a fresh holiday perspective.

The centerpiece of

Thanksgiving...

Is traded for a

Colonial Christmas rendition.

Even the braided rug

has been stored away...giving

angels room to sing.

The changes happen slowly

around here...

giving each new arrival

its moment

to shine...

and to be seen.

Wishing you joy and peace

during the beautiful days

of December.
