It's Coming on Christmas

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace


I heard this favorite Joni tune the other day and thought of how perfectly it captures the beauty of the holiday season. It's been a quiet fall devoted to work on my dissertation and our 1942 bungalow, but our spirited Springer Percy makes sure I don't stay cooped up inside all day. We're curling up with a cup of cocoa today before strolling through our little town to pick up some garlands and a wreath, which will make the whole house smell marvelous. Then it's time to wrap the last of our holiday gifts and watch the Great British Baking Show's holiday special—I truly can't imagine a more perfect way to spend a Saturday.

I hope your holiday season is full of family, all of your favorite festivities, and the cheeriest Netflix specials!
