It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
Take a look in the five and ten glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow…

The most magical season of the year is finally here! I love the holidays and decorating my home is one of my favourite things to do. The boys love it too and we listen to Christmas music and drink hot chocolate while decorating. Our home feels so cozy!
