the celebration in your heart
i've been to the Candlelight Christmas Eve service & now i'm sitting here tonight in my Christmas pjs: flannel pajamas pants & a long sleeve white tee.
i'm in a borrowed home with all my Christmas decorations safely packed away in a storage unit. i don't have a Christmas tree this year to put my presents under. just a "Christmas table". the only trees i've enjoyed have belonged to others or were lit in soft white lights at church tonight.
i'm not celebrating with friends & family. in fact i'm home all alone tonight. but the warm light of candles in festive holiday scents dance merrily.
it doesn't matter that the traditions have been tucked away for right now. i miss the ones i love, but for me, tonight, in the quiet house, i have Christmas. i am at peace with the happy memories & the warm feelings...because after all, Christmas lives in your heart.

You're so wonderful, Dawn. Just know that a feeble little mind in AZ is thinking about you and wishes you a very merry Christmas. :)
What happy pants you have! Merry Christmas babe! :)
Love your jammies! Sorry I was not around to wish you Merry Christmas. Hope it was nice!
You were a Christmas orphan (see my blog for details)! We had some over for dinner... wish you could have come. Hope you had a great Christmas, Dawn! {hugs}
