Christmas Magic




Watching the magic of Christmas unfold is no more real than in the sparkling eyes of a child who steadfastly believes. I'm making a Christmas resolution this year, in advance of the New Year, to have child-like faith, beginning now.  



GIVEAWAY: A FEW WARM CUPS OF CHEER

Blogging these last few months has been such a joy to me. Meeting and making friends with so many of you has made my life richer. As a small token of my appreciation, coffee is on me! I am giving away a Starbucks gift card to someone who will be randomly selected on Christmas Eve. Just leave a comment below to be entered. (Be sure that I can contact you if you are selected.) 

From my home to yours, I hope you each have a magical and Merry Christmas!

  1. Wow!!! Words fail me so let me quote Charles Dickens...
    "Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childhood days, recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth, and transport the traveler back to his own fireside and quiet home!"

    "I do come home at Christmas. We all do, or we all should. We all come home, or ought to come home, for a short holiday - the longer, the better - from the great boarding school where we are forever working at our arithmetical slates, to take, and give a rest."

    trees! Thanks for

    sharing these lovely
    moments, Keri!

  7. Love your blog Keri! That tree is crazy, amazing....the kids looked at and then looked at ours in a most disparaging way! Never mind. Would love to take part in your Starbucks giveaway...alas, in Australia, Starbucks are few and far between and don't tend to carry the great flavours that they offer elsewhere. I know. Travesty. No pumpkin spice latte. Can you believe the injustice??

    Anyhoo, Merry Christmas to you and your family. Looking forward to getting to know you better in 2012. Meredy xo

  10. Little kids really do bring back Christmas magic. I have a two year old that brought quite a lot of that magic this year.
