Things I love.

♥

The true meaning of Christmas. I love to think about how wonderful it is that Jesus came down to earth, and it all had a purpose. He would die for our sins, and forgive us. It is just incredible. Every Christmas, I try to focus, remember, and think about this true meaning, rather than being carried away to other thoughts.
Sparkly Glitter. My sister and I have covered lots of pretty decorations with it. We love it because it gives them a really pretty, shiny silvery touch. 

Two week break. It has felt so wonderful to take a two week break from all my daily school and homework. I can really enjoy this holiday a lot when I don't have to think about getting stuff done before they are due. 

My home. Specially during this season! We decorate about every single part of it. It gets all "Chistmasy." I love to walk around, and all I see are pretty lights and ornaments. And I love to share it with my family. 

Spheres. I love love them. Every year, my mom and I go buy some. We don't hang them on our tree though, because they are just so fragile. They are made out of really delicate thin glass, and have gorgeous little details, or are covered in velvet. We hang them with long laces from our chandeliers, or put them in vases:)

Bokeh. Lately, thanks to all of the Christmas lights we have around our home, I've been taking lots and lots of pictures of them using the bokeh effect technique. It seems like in the beginning I was not very fond of it, but I'm starting to. 

Cold weather. We don't get any snow in Mexico, but it still gets chilly and cold during the winter. And I love going outside for walks, and feel that frigid wind rushing through my sweater. It makes me want to get some yummy hot chocolate. 

Christmas Magazines. I totally love flipping through their pages in search for delicious recipes, and then writing them down. Which also means I love to cook. The menu for tonight makes my mouth water just to the thought of it. We'll be having really good things :)

  Decorations. We have bought quite a few of them in the past couple of Christmases, but I have always had one favorite. I have loved this one ever since we got it. It was probably four years ago.

My mom. She is so, so wonderful. It wouldn't be Christmas without her. Today, we cooked and baked the whole entire day. It was really fun! She is such a good teacher, and usually makes me laugh a lot. 

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."

Luke 2:14 

What do you love today?
