Freezing temperatures, snow-capped mountains, bare tree branches and frozen ponds.
Evergreen wreaths, garlands of cedar and beautiful ornaments.
Gingerbread, fudge, fruitcake, baking (well not until the range is connected), gift lists, cards to be sent.
Candlelight, Nativity plays, carols, special meals and Christmas bazaars.

All a part of the Advent and Christmas season here in the PNW--
but it is so very much more.

Thanks so much for taking time to leave a comment! I LOVE hearing from visitors and your comments most always leave a BIG smile on my face and sometimes a little giggle too! I do moderate comments to ensure a family friendly blog and also to catch any spam so your comment won't post immediately unless I am online at that time. However, I do check for comments regularly. If you don't see your comment post within a day or two, it's most often due to it being a Sunday (when I limit my Internet use) or, at times, a computer issue. Again thanks and have a GREAT day:)
Blessings, Aimee
