You may not find it quiet in your house, with children running about, scurrying to Nutcracker rehearsals, clamoring for ginger bread houses, and pondering presents galore to come. But even during the days when my house was full of all that and more, I always relished the quiet time around the table, lighting the advent candle for that week, and thinking for a moment about the One who was and is and is to come.A big part of preparing for the glory of Christmas, is the quiet work done alone at home, or with the family when others are running out to shop, or waiting for the Amazon truck to arrive. For me, decorating the house has always been a joy, a reminder that waiting, anticipating is a GOOD thing! This year, after years of doing this with dear friends, I started what I hope will continue as a lovely tradition for others, taking time to create and visit and laugh with new friends and old. The four Morning Bird Designs wreath workshops were a highlight of this time of preparation. And everyone took home something memorable and beautiful! For more see @morningbirddesigns on Instagram...they are spectacular!
The photos speak for themselves, so I'll let them.

Enjoy this quiet season reflecting on the love of God, that sent a little babe to a lowly manger to prepare for the awe-filled sacrifice that brings light, life, redemption and good news to all.
