Christmas is...


What is Christmas?
Christmas is so many things...all wrapped up in one glorious season.



It's about the colors of red and green...
...and the warm glow of candles casting dancing figures on the wall.


It's a tree all aglow with flickering lights...
...and sparkling ornaments acquired throughout the years.


It's about family memories...
...remembering the old and creating the new.



Christmas is about a baby...
...who became the Light of the world.


...almost here!

It seems to come and go so quickly...so hold it tightly in your grasp!

Now, hop on over to Vee's for more Christmas Cards.

  1. So pretty! Just loved every single photo.

    And most of all, Christmas is about a baby - THAT baby - who came to save the world!

    GOD BLESS!

  15. Hi Debby,

    What a peaceful and pretty set of note cards for this Christmas season! The dancing figures on the wall are sure to entertain all who sit cozily by the tree, in the glow of its graceful presence. The spirit of Jesus is always in our hearts, and sharing the love and kindness of its soul, I would hope, happens every day.

    Thank you for sharing!

    Merry Christmas!

  20. What a magical set of note cards Debby Ray.
    I'm seeing lots of Pointsettia's as I visit blogs - they are one of the signs of Christmas!
    My favorite card is the one of your family photos, that sweet little face of your grandson and the red berries complete the magic.

    I'm now following you!

    Wishing you a very Happy Christmas 2013.
