New Year's Preparations

“I’m not sure if I’m coming or going.” This is a statement people normally reserve for times of confusion and chaos or when they feel overwhelmed. But as I’m sitting here soaking up the last bit of sparkle from my Christmas tree before I take it all down and pack it away this afternoon, this sentiment feels especially appropriate.

He says, “Tell me about your house in the North Pole.” … Nora would like a Rainbow High House. She wants to know, “What do you do in your house?” … Kasey would like a castle.

Merry and REALLY Bright

My husband and I bought our first home in May 2003 and with that purchase came an old wooden ladder that the previous homeowners had left in the storage building. When I say old, I’m pretty sure this rickety ladder was the one Noah stood on to build the ark. Anyway, for our first three Christmases in that house, my husband would hang lights using that ladder. It might have looked as old as the hills, but the ladder was very functional… or so we thought.

A Sarine Thought… or Two

Light It Up! … There is something universally heart-warming about Christmas, no matter who you are. When December comes around, our everyday lives just become that extra bit sweeter because of the spirit in the air. The stores are decorated to the hilt with trees, Santa, snowmen, reindeer, ribbons, tinsel and bows—oh my! The Muzak stations in elevators and restaurants are set to Christmas carols and hymns. And, as Rudolph is run-run-running to get Santa to town, the weather begs for hot beverages to be drunk and sweaters to be worn.
