Home for the Holidays

As I sit in front of my brightly lit Christmas tree and glance at the stockings hanging on the mantle, I’m still having trouble believing this weekend is Christmas.

So in order to get in the spirit, I’ve got the tree lit, evergreen scented candles burning, and I’m about to pull out a fresh log of gingerbread cookie dough for some holiday baking.
