I am choosing joy in spite of the arctic chill that came overnight.
More snow is certainly beginning to make it "look a lot like Christmas". Hard to believe it is now only 12 days away.
If the weather doesn't set the mood for the holidays...the music certainly should.
"Joy to the World", "O Little Town of Bethlehem", Angels We Have Heard on High"...or "I am Dreaming of a White Christmas" are just a few favorites.
Have never figured out why some of these old songs are only played this time of the year. They can bring such joy just hearing them and reminding us of what this special season represents.
Speaking of choosing joy...I think these two are. How about you? Hope so.
Have a lovely joyful week.
Hugs
Debbie

Dear friend, I absolutely love all your snow photos, and the dogs are delightful! Thank you for also sharing this Bible verse.
ReplyDeleteHappy Merry Holidays! Beautiful photos
ReplyDeleteJoy is when the thermometer is above 33°F. It has been nippy here in Vermont.

ReplyDeleteOh Debbie, how did I miss this post? The snow is beautiful around your neck of the woods, and these are wonderful photos. The dogs must be having a blast playing in it all. I like all the Christmas songs you mentioned, especially White Christmas, and the movie as well. I hope you are enjoying this Christmas season to the fullest.
