A Christmas Post....

**my little Christmas Tree with my precious Nativity beneath**

Hi!

I'm just stopping by for a minute to wish you all a very Merry Christmas! I don't think I've enjoyed the Christmas season this much in 5 years. It's so wonderful having my own, new apartment to decorate, spending time with my family and friends and remembering my true reason for Christmas.

On Christmas Eve morning, we always go to my parent's home for breakfast and gifts. My mom makes breakfast casserole, cheese grits, bacon, biscuits, cinnamon twirls, cookies, chocolate chip pie....oh my hips are getting bigger just thinking about it!

**my Sweet Grass baskets...Christmas-ized**

I honestly don't care about presents anymore. I would be just fine if no one gave me a thing. For me, it's about spending time with my precious mommy and daddy, Hot Police Boy, my brother and sister in law and my AMAZING, sweet nephews. That is ALL I need.

My heart is so full this Christmas, that I keep finding myself overly emotional. The sappy commercials are turning me into a fountain every time one comes on (thank you Publix, Folgers and Hallmark).

**my Police Santa because, well....you know**

Tomorrow night, I will be attending Christmas Eve Mass and I am beyond excited. HPB and I attended Solemn Vespers on this past Sunday and it was just what I needed. I can't explain the peace I feel when I attend Mass.

I hope you all have a WONDERFUL Christmas filled with love and peace! I will be back in the new year, hopefully with lots of interesting things to blog about!

I appreciate all of my readers and I'll see you next year!

XOXO,
TPO
