advent, noun.a coming or arrival, especially of something infrequent or unusually important.
Don't you love finding the perfect gift? It makes Christmas for me. I can't wait to see that person open that gift on December 25th. It is easy to rush through all of the to-do's of the holiday and forget to notice those things you may love very best about this season of Merry and Bright. Take some time to look for the little gifts this month has for you.

December is packing the kids up in the car and driving around ooohing and aahhing @ Christmas lights until they either fall asleep or beg us to take them home. My very favorite thing!!
After five years of trying to have the perfect holiday party, this year we finally got it right. We invited the right mix of people (many who were hilariously funny, most who were exceptionally nice and friendly), had the right amount of appetizers (ones that people devoured instead of leaving to wilt on the table) and the right quantity of drinks (A LOT). The evening flew by, everyone seemed to have a nice time and my husband and I had a happy, warm feeling at the end of the night. There is nothing like the holidays to get everyone in a good mood, and I'm so glad we finally honed our entertaining skills! Wish you could have been there. :)
