'Tis the Season!

The time has come. Christmas quickly approaches and along with that, all the joys and beauty of the season.
I love this time of year. It is absolutely my favorite. From the day before Thanksgiving until that wonderful, happy morning on Christmas, there is a huge smile on my face (except when I'm at the day job, of course! LOL!) and songs singing through my spirit. Christmas is a time for joy amongst all people, but also a reflection of the spirit within yourself. Time to spend with friends and family, exchanging not only gifts but bonds of love that will last a whole lifetime.
My joy at this time of year mainly stems from the happiness that lights my children's faces whenever they see colored lights stringing from neighbor houses, or blown up X-mas decorations sitting outside on lawns - and the best time: Christmas morning when they discover all the wonderful presents Santa and Mom & Dad have given them. I cherish this time of year and try to capture as much of it as possible on camera, so that we will never forget the happiness we experienced together.
I wish everyone a wonderful holiday season. Lift your spirit and be happy. Have a very Merry Christmas!!
