Christmas Is The Holiday That Sings To My Spirit

There's a Feeling of Christmas Everywhere

 

There’s a feeling of Christmas everywhere.

This phenomenal feeling is in my heart, blanketing my spirit and warming my soul.

I am over the moon just thinking about the upcoming holiday season. 

Hearts come together and loving warmth takes over.

The other day I began thinking about Christmas. Christmas is always on my mind. There was a slight jolt in my spirit and I jumped into the car and drove to Hobby Lobby. I had a feeling that they were stocking their shelves for Christmas.

When I got there all I could see was shelves were overflowing with autumn decor. I think it’s okay to say or even believe that their shelves will be full of Christmas soon. 

I’m going back there today (Monday, June 16, 2025) to see what they have on display for the most wonderful time of the year. 

I received an email over the weekend from Michael’s craft store that they are putting out their Christmas decorations this week. I’ll head there today as well to see what beauties they will be displaying for the holiday season. To say I am excited is an understatement.

The Christmas Season Is Beautiful, Warm and Wonderful

For me, there are so many things that make Christmas special. Even visiting the craft store, Home Goods and other home stores make me happy. I am not hard to please. Give me Christmas and you’ve given me the world. What can I say. I truly adore Christmas.

The decorations alone make spirits bright. The wonderful Christmas color palettes that illuminate our homes and songs that sing to our heart are amazing as well. 

And then there’s that cozy feeling that we all know so well and welcome with open arms that always shows up during the holidays while lovingly spreading good cheer everywhere we go. 

We can’t forget about the winter weather. Winter and Christmas go hand in hand. It’s the cold here up north that does it for me. 

Christmas Calls and Snowflakes Gently Fall 

I absolutely adore the cold and snowy conditions that always seem to show up when Christmas comes. 

Winter wonderlands make Christmas even more special every time I see a snowflake or two that sometimes turns into a real heavy snowfall. It’s awesome what those delicate beautifully designed snowflakes can do when they all fall to earth together. 

Looking forward to the 2025 holiday season I am preparing my home, once again, to receive love, joy and an abundance of good cheer followed by peace. 

As the Christmas season approaches I will be ready. Every year I look forward to preparing my home for this sensational season filled with love. 

I’ll slowly decorate every inch of my home with all of my beautiful Christmas decorations. My theme this year will be red and gold or perhaps silver and icy blue. Whatever colors I decide to use I will make it all come together like a picture on the front cover of a magazine. 

Christmas is such an amazing time of year. It fills every room and inch of my home and I love it. I look forward to enjoying the splendor and wonder of the season. 

This year I’m going to write a few Christmas songs and sing them to my family. I want to make sure each and every Christmas is special because I love my family and I love Christmas. Creating these These memories that can never be forgotten is extremely important to me.

What Christmas will you be creating this year that your family will cherish and never forget?

Merry Christmas everybody,

Sincerely,

Cyndi

Christmas Morning Through Loving Eyes

The Magic Still Lingers: Christmas Morning Through Grown-Up Eyes

Christmas Morning Traditions and Joy

Christmas morning traditions and joy awaken us to love.

Christmas morning. The words alone conjure up a whirlwind of nostalgia, a heady mix of sugar-fueled excitement and the comforting warmth of family. We remember the feeling of anticipation, the frantic tearing of wrapping paper, the sheer, unadulterated joy of discovering the treasures

Santa had left behind. But what happens when we grow up? Does the magic of Christmas morning simply fade, replaced by the more practical realities of adulthood?

While the childlike wonder may soften around the edges, the magic of Christmas morning, I believe, simply transforms. It morphs from a focus on personal gain to a celebration of connection, tradition, and heartfelt giving.

Gone are the days of bounding out of bed at the crack of dawn, driven by the lust for new toys. Now, the morning often begins with a quiet cup of coffee, a moment to appreciate the peaceful stillness before the family chaos erupts.

We might steal a glance at the twinkling lights on the tree, a silent acknowledgment of the shared memories and the history it represents.

The focus shifts from receiving to giving. The anticipation now lies in witnessing the reactions of loved ones as they open the gifts we carefully selected, hoping they capture the essence of our relationship.

The joy comes not from the thrill of a new gadget, but from the warmth of a hug, the genuine delight on a child’s face, or the knowing smile of a partner who appreciates the thought that went into a present.

Christmas Traditions Last Forevermore In The Spirit of Love

Traditions become even more important. The familiar rituals, from the specific type of breakfast eaten (pancakes shaped like reindeer, anyone?) to the order in which presents are opened, become anchors in a sea of change. They are the threads that connect generations, weaving a tapestry of shared experiences that strengthens family bonds.

Perhaps the most profound shift is in our understanding of the true meaning of Christmas. As children, we might have focused on the presents, but as adults, we begin to appreciate the deeper message of hope, peace, and goodwill.

Christmas morning becomes a reminder to be grateful for what we have, to cherish the people in our lives, and to extend kindness and compassion to those in need.

While the frantic energy of childhood Christmases may be replaced with a more measured pace, the magic remains. It’s in the shared laughter, the cozy atmosphere, the feeling of belonging, and the simple act of being present with loved ones.

This year, as you gather around the tree on Christmas morning, take a moment to appreciate the evolving magic. Embrace the traditions, cherish the connections, and remember that the true spirit of Christmas lies not in the gifts we receive, but in the love we share. Because even though we’ve grown up, the magic of Christmas morning, in its own unique way, still lingers. 

Christmas morning traditions and joy is the spirit that brings us peace.

Merry Christmas everybody.

Jesus Is The Reason Why I Love The Christmas Season

By Cyndi – Posted on

The Holiday Season Is Designed To Bring Wealth and Prosperity Into Every Home

Christmas delivers wealth and prosperity into every home with love.

That’s why the feeling is amazing and it’s all because of Jesus.

Good Day Christmas Friends,

Today is Saturday, May 31, 2025 and I want to talk Christmas. Do you mind if I tell you why I never get tired of talking about Christmas. 

For me Christmas is complete comfort and joy because Jesus is the Reason for the Season. 

You see, I love my precious Lord and sweet Savior, Jesus Christ. He is my Light and Life Who dwells deep within my spirit. He warms every inch of my heart all year long. Also, He bestows countless blessings upon me faithfully my life without me asking for it. I am grateful. 

Like His Kingdom, Jesus’ love is an everlasting love. I am thankful that I get to experience His love when He mercifully wakes me up. With a grateful heart and spirit I bask in the glory of the new day. My spirit and mind renewed I start everyday refreshed and rejuvenated.

There is no love grater than the love of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

Jesus is the Reason for my deep love for  Christmas

To know the true meaning of Christmas you must know Jesus. I truly believe when the holiday season makes its entrance into my every room inside of my home I can find special gifts in the Hem of His Garment.

One of those gifts is peace. The other two gifts are comfort and love. These special gifts envelope the spirit and gird me with joy. I love the sensational feeling that they bring to me year after year time and time again throughout the joyous season. 

Jesus gifts abundant miracles that surrounds and embraces believers across the pond. Here’s what’s so very special about it all. Jesus gives gifts that only some can see and feel. He is my reason for loving Christmas more than words can say. Jesus is the Reason for the Season. 

Reflecting upon all things Christmas here are some ways that I celebrate the miraculous season.

Comfort and joy are always near and holly jolly has a way of creating more abundance in my life

When I think about the Christmas holiday season I think about Jesus and the comfy and cozy feeling that quickly encompasses me. 

Taking time to relax into deep thoughts about Christmas I close my eyes. Quietly nestled in Jesus’ peace, my brown eyes walk me through a short time zone beginning October 1.

With loving eyes I see my home decked with boughs of holly warming the living room. My seriously comfortable living room brings me true inspiration all throughout this joyful time of the year. It is truly majestic and so is the holiday deocr.

I see all of the precious ornaments, gold bulbs and red runners that melt my heart. They also make me so very happy. In this divine space I write short holiday stories and precious Christmas filled poems. As Christmas music plays in the background I create, design and produce some of my best and most awe-inspiring creations.

From incredible decorations to heavenly pieces of vintage to modern ornaments I write Christmas. 

Now still in the present moment with thanksgiving and all the happiness in my own little world residing deep within every beat of my cotton clothed heart my eyes lead me into my quaint little dated kitchen which I love. Regardless of the fact that I have very little countertop and cabinet space it’s still my kitchen designed 62 years  inside of a loving home and I adore it. 

I am beyond grateful for the beauty, warmth and endless joy in my home.

As I slowly walk through the beauty of it all I am greeted with some of the most delicious desserts to come out of an oven baked by me the one and only.

A most delicious red velvet cake, with a smooth rich texture covered over with cream cheese frosting looks as stunning as my Christmas tree and just waiting to be sliced. And then I have dark chocolate brownies forever the hit in my home along with yummy peanut butter cookies my favorite cookie in the world lovingly grace my 35 year old kitchen table. 

Let’s head into the dining room, another place from whence I gather inspiration whenever I need inspiration for my life in general. It flows, like milk and honey from my living room. These three rooms intertwine like a healthy and loving relationship that naturally flows like rivers of water. 

Christmas brings me an abundance of happiness joy and comfort and it’s all because of Jesus. 

Even though it’s only May 31 it feels like December 25. Everyday for me feels like December 24 and 25 because Christmas resonates with my spirit like oceans of water. I must say that there are not enough words to express how I feel about Christmas. 

Christmas delivers wealth and prosperity into every home with love.

What about you. How does Christmas make you feel? 

Merry Christmas.

I Hear Christmas Coming Up The Road

By Cyndi – Posted on

Christmas Time Is Coming Soon and I Reflect On years Gone By

Christmas Will Be Here Soon

I sure do hear Christmas coming up the road and I have to tell you that I am looking forward to the holiday season this year.

Sitting at my kitchen table I see my backyard covered in snow. Christmas is calling. 

Grabbing my pen I write my one very special wish from heart to my pad. I close my eyes to see the sensation of the season. Emotions flood my soul and I am taken to a place of love. 

Inspiration speaks to move me to a place I have never gone before. It’s a winter wonderland village all lit up. The lights illumine the path of my feet and I can see the holiday twinkling and giving me a wink.

Clothed and covered over with a soft presence, the glow warms me like the sun that shines on a warm summer day.

All of a sudden I hear a knock on my front door. When I open the door I see a sprinkle of gold dust resting on my step. This let’s me know that Christmas is near. It gives me so much hope and my mind shifts to a place of oneness. 

And now as I get ready to wind down for the evening I still hear jingle bells coming closer to me. It’s going to take a little longer for Christmas to get here and when miracles happen I’ll be ready to receive them all for you and me.

Merry Christmas to all my friends and family.

Best Time of the Year

By Cyndi – Posted on

Christmas is the Best Time of the Year and Here’s Why

 

Best time of the year

Not only is Christmas the best time of the year it is also the most wonderful time of the year. Here’s why.

During the Christmas season we get to experience the presence of more love. This special kind of sincere love seems to appear more than any other time of this e year because it does. The love is real.

In the midst of this joyful season hearts are warmer. People are more loving. Hearts more giving. Spirits are sweeter and good cheer spreads from one heart and home to another. We are merrier and brighter.

Every year at Christmas, the most wonderful time of the year, we look forward to the joys, sounds and songs of this sensational season.

Hearing the jingle of the b-e-double-l-s we smile. Shopping for family, baking cookies, making candy and cooking the most delicious mouth-watering dishes to scape our tables are those activities that we look forward to every year during the most loving time of the year.

Do you hear what I hear. Love is coming around again. Christmas 2025 is coming to a home near you.

Tis the season to be jolly, happy and thankful.

Christmas Miracles and Love

Christmas miracles and love.

Christmas is love and when we invite this special time of year into our hearts and homes we get to experience overflowing joy that majestically flows in clothing and warming us with Christmas presence.

Wonder becomes splendor and the two become expressions of love that await Christmas miracles making wishes come true. This happens when we close our eyes to dream.

We open our eyes to see the beauty of the holiday season and we smile.

Gifted to us we receive an abundance of peace and joy and maybe even those things which our hearts desire or that which we need.

Love continuously wraps and warms us and we are given ornaments of grace.

Enjoy Christmas and take time to sit relax and think of the beauty of this sensational holiday season.

There is no time like Christmastime. It is truly a time to love and a time to give and to welcome family friends to gather around and love each other sincerely.

Lasting love endures and Christmas lives in our hearts forever and always. This season why not let joy, all the love and peace become our way of living and speaking. When we do this  Christmas happens everyday because Christmas is love.

Let’s Decorate for Christmas

By Cyndi – Posted on

It’s Time To Decorate the Most Wonderful Time of the Year, Christmastime!

Let's Decorate The Christmas Season

Good Day Christmas Luminaries.

Christmas is right around the corner and I’ll be ready when it arrives. I’m ready for the decorating to begin. Are you with me?

Let’s decorate the Christmas season together.

Are you ready to decorate for Christmas? I know I am.

If you’re ready or getting ready, please stay and join me and let’s get started brightening our homes with all things Christmas.

First things first.

I have a gold basket that I fill with white lights. To that design and my family’s delight I’ll add red and gold bulbs. I love this creation because it lights up my entire living room when I turn off the lights at night. The lights in the basket are bright to lend just the right ambiance for the space.

Secondly I will decorate my coffee table. I will add a lovely Christmas runner and build on it. I’ll be adding a gold tray with the perfect pop of colors. Purple and red Christmas ornaments will complement this one of a kind Christmas design.

From there I’ll decorate my sofa table with my gold reindeer large and small. I’ll also add lights to this table with green garland.

I’ll also be showcasing my cute little gingerbread couple and all of my Christmas signs.

Beautiful Christmas Decorations Warm the Heart Morning, Noon and Bright

My living room is where I spend most of my time throughout the holiday season. I will be adding a multitude of lights on my window sill of my picture window and I cannot wait.

When the decorating begins I’ll be playing songs of the season and to name a few will be Jingle Bells, It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year and Holy Night.

Now starting in October, the 15th to be exact, the Christmas decorating will begin. I plan to take photos to post so that you can see how it all ties together.

Please visit often so that you can see my lovely Christmas decor.

Thank you for stopping by.

Merry Christmas.

Christmas Is Coming

By Cyndi – Posted on

Season’s Greetings, Christmas Luminaries,

Welcome to Christmas in my home

Christmas in my home

Can you believe Christmas is right up the road. I am so excited I cannot wait to put up my Christmas tree and decorate my entire house from top to bottom for this joyous holiday season!

Here’s how I plan to decorate my home this year.

Every year at Christmas I create a theme for the most wonderful time of the year. This year my  theme will be gold reindeer and beautiful Christmas angels. My color palette will be the Christmas tradition that I grew up with and simply love which is red and green with a little bit of gold mixed in.

Starting at the front door I will add a lovely traditional Christmas wreath. Should you enter into my home physically or by your imagination, you will see two gold reindeer comfortably nesting in my warm candle lit living room. To this gorgeous display I will also be adding red hurricanes, by Valerie Parhill, that I purchased on QVC. They are simply gorgeous.

Christmas Is Coming and I’ll Be Ready

Christmas in my home

In addition to all of this Christmas wonder, stringed white lights will accompany the greenest garland joyfully laid across the window sill for beauty and splendor. This window brings a lot of light into my home. 

Last year I bought a cute little gingerbread couple that I found on QVC so I will be sure to put them out for a conversation piece. I got them on sale for a really great price.

A few years ago I purchased Luminara candles, a special collection from, again, QVC. They will go on my coffee table up against the wall in my great room. They will add a soft light affect throughout my home this Christmas.

It won’t be long before Christmas in my home will come to life. I am truly looking forward to Christmas 2024 and as I countdown the days until Christmas I will be dreaming of this special holiday season and enjoying the love that it brings.

Merry Christmas Everyone.
