Let’s kick off the week with some lovely links.
ps. And I get a mention over here for the tea swap I recently took part in.
Cindy’s theme for eye spy this week is “a Christmas wish”.
I could be altruistic and wish for world peace, an end to poverty etc. But I am going down to the grassroots level of our home.
First of all, time. I can’t believe how quickly the year has gone. How much my boys have grown. How their “baby” years are long behind us and how I have to hold onto the memories of their childhood. Time ~ I want more time, but I guess I will have to settle for maybe managing my time better and finding more time to spend quality time with them, while I can.
Second, relaxation. Over Christmas I hope we find some time to relax. As a journalist, I will be working through the season. But inbetween, and amid the hustle and bustle of the festivities, I hope we find some time (there’s that word again} to relax and have fun as a family.
Lastly, I hope these two learn, like really learn, the meaning of Christmas, about giving, about gratitude, and appreciate what they have ~ food, shelter, love and a joyful Christmas, when so many don’t and won’t.
See what everyone else is wishing for over here.
So many lovely polaroid goodies around, thought I would pull them together in one little post.

Wow, the last weekend in November, and that means soon it will be time to get out the Christmas decorations, trim the tree and all that jazz. [We have a rule/tradition in our house ~ December 1 or thereabouts, depending on schedules, is tree time]
So this weekend, it’s time to start thinking about Christmas decorations.
Here’s some ideas the www has thrown up:
If you have some decorations to share, leave a link in the comments.
