Friends, my heart is so full this week! I am home in Texas for the next two weeks, and it is the first time my whole family has been together since last Christmas. Dave is here with me too, and I’m so excited to share all of my family traditions with him, and to spend the holidays with him for the first time. It’s hard to believe that this is my last Christmas before I’m married! Since we typically go to Mass on Christmas Eve, Christmas day at my house is cozy and fun–after opening presents and enjoying a huge breakfast, we spend the rest of the day lounging around, munching on Christmas cookies, and watching A Christmas Story on TV. Since staying in pajamas all day is practically a rule, I picked up this cute set a few weeks ago, and with the festive plaid and shorts (this is Texas, after all), they’ll be perfect for enjoying one of my favorite days of the year.

Wishing you a holiday full of warmth, family, cookies, and the deep joy that comes from Christ alone. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
