At this time of year, there are a lot of lists floating around our house: "to do" lists, guest lists, grocery lists, and my children's favorite, the Christmas list! We are all so busy preparing for the upcoming festivities. With restless thoughts in my head today, I found myself roaming around the dining room with a hot mug of tea. I paused and looked over a wish list of toys one of my children had cut out of a catalog. So many of the toys were things that, while eye-catching, did not encourage my children to remember the reason we celebrate Christmas. This year, I look forward to bringing out the Color and Hug™ nativity scene and hanging it on our tree as an ornament.   As a family, we will also create the scene of Jesus' birth with the Wee Believers™ nativity floor puzzle. So, here's to looking forward to the entire season of Advent and celebrating Christmas!

Have a blessed week, friends!
