All Is Calm, All Is Bright

This is my favorite part of Christmas morning. I'm not only the first one downstairs, but I'm the only one awake in the house. Within the hour, there will be laughter and commotion, wrapping paper and boxes and gifts scattered about, Christmas candy being eaten, cats playing with the scraps of tissue paper and ribbon, and the smell of cinnamon rolls baking in the oven. But right now, all is calm. All is bright.






And then everyone comes downstairs, and in short order, it looks like this:










The cat's out of the bag....

Later, there will be cookies. And pumpkin pie.


Happy birthday, Jesus! I hope You enjoyed Your day as much as we did.

 Join us this week and every week with Ten Things of Thankful. You won't be sorry.

    I love the early morning hours, too--but I'm usually the one waking my kids up on Christmas morning! :-)

    I have yet to experience this quiet Christmas morning of which you speak. I still have kids getting up way, way too early. I'm OK with it for now. :)
    Merry Christmas!!
