Merry Little Christmas

Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah! Happy Kwanzaa!

From my side of the world to yours !



Santa is finally here! I bet the lovely Christmas tree is being circled by loves ones and friends this Morning! Fresh Pot of coffee brewing and the aroma filling the air, the pattering of feet coming down the hallway, to find the gifts Santa left behind. That lovely tree decked out and lit to its glory ,the reindeer cookies are all gone. I imagine cheery faces all around in the room and a twinkle in each pair of eyes ,with the warm sun coming through the morning windows. I hope there is a bit snow outside in your neck of the woods. That would just make the day little bit sweeter with Family around.

I hope you and your sweet family are creating the best memories together of what's left 2019. And I hope you take lots of pictures as well ,for your family's photo album of the year. Forgot about your phone for a bit , play some games and have a little snowball fight in the driveway. I hope you get your little christmas wish and it comes true beyond your wildest dreams. Please take some time for yourself and relax , truely . Recommend you do that over some Hot Cocoa and some yummy cookies.

And my family and friends who also celebrate Armenian christmas on Jan Sixth , Shnorhavor Surb Tsnund! I wish you the best and many blessings your way! I promise I won't take down the tree down to soon again. I remember, I forgot the last time and it was between snow storms that year.







And New Year's eve is coming up and I hope you get a New Year's mooch also great start to the next year. See you in the next little post !

XOXO

Last month 2019 December

It's Finally December, lots of festivities and Santa is coming to town.

And cold nights ahead but cozy fires nights in as well ,kind of season.






It's officially the winter season and the Christmas time is upon us as well. The last month of 2019 before the new year of 2020. I hope you have been good because Santa is coming to town and he already check his list twice. We all made it through the year and the winter season is officially here, fluffy powder or not; long party nights ahead either way. That being said Let's talk all things Christmas.

I like to think the time slows down a bit through the Christmas season known as December. More time to be with family and friends then being stuck at the office in the late hours. The air is different, people are happier and blessings happen. Towns and cities , all around the world are decorated to the nines, I secretly wish that places would be decorated like this for every holiday. I bet your home is decorated as well with lots of twinkling lights and candy canes galore.

I hope you are sending out your christmas cards this year, a physical copy to hang on pair of twinkle lights in another family home. Sending out cards is one of favorite thing as receiving some in my own mailbox. I think it's special to receive one, seeing a family expanding or a favorite moment that was captured just to be on this years christmas card than just being shared on social media.


Another thing I enjoy is the a good hot chocolate and I use almost every excuse or reason to have one. Good Hot Cocoa and or Hot coffee with a good book, or share some good news with a friend. I mean give the marshmallows , a fire going and fluffy blanket is ideal setting in my opinion. And so if you need to find me this holiday season that's where I will be on all snowy days. Isn't around the merry season, there's more sweets and treats baked and given out more than any other season. I think santa had a great job doesn't he putting presents under the tree and gets free baked yummy treats and yummy hot cocoa on the go in return. What's your favorite sweet treat to have during the christmas season?


Some families nowadays do a gift card exchange or a white elephant parties. I am curious what do you do in gift giving every year? I enjoy buying physical gifts, something funny, something someone needs but won't buy for themselves. I rather get zero presents and give more than anything else, it's probably because I love Giving and Wrapping for hours with some christmas music playing in the background. And seeing the love on people's faces and the wonder what's beyond the wrapping paper. And a little shameless plug, My zazzle shop is up if you need any last minute gifts. Wink, Wink!

Beyond anything else I mentioned about christmas my absolute everything is a Ornament giving. One tradition that I Love carrying on each year. Everyone getting a new ornament to hang on the tree. Something Special each year and the Ornaments can be passed down and expanded. Like to think , picking out a Ornament for someone is a representation of them and something they either achieved that particular year or something they love. I love the little sparkle in their eyes going through the tissue paper and seeing their ornament for the year. And it's always the first thing I purchase for someone and wrap. Do you have a favorite Ornament that someone has given you? Mine is a Candy can, chocolate chip broken in pieces with a smiley face in the middle; and if you haven't noticed and have been following me around for a while now, I love peppermint.


The last little thing I wanted to share about what I love about christmas is my favorite christmas memory. It a street in California and I haven't been there in a long time and I think the last time I was there , I was at least ten. The street is called Candy Cane lane ; I used to think its the closest place to a winter wonderland without the snow. And if you have never been, You should go for the experience. I loved jumping in the car with a cup of Hot chocolate, every year. In the night air with the windows down ,I can smell the that same winter night air now. I remember sticking my child hand out the window and watching a whole street full of christmas cheer. Warm white twinkle lights hanging up above connecting from trees and to the otherside of the street, making a arch way all the way through the street, it's an unbelieve journey. Each house is full of lights and each have a theme and color scheme, blending into the next house. Watching people walking the sidewalk with red and white beanies. The best part was seeing Santa being at the very last house at the end. Full of people and yet it felt like a hallmark movie before my innocent eyes. Makes me happy to remember that moment. Here's my last question : What's your favorite childhood christmas moment, that you can remember ?

Happy early Christmas and I hope you get your shopping done before the Twenty- Fifth. And I hope miracles happen for you; unexpectedly beautifully.


There will be another post during christmas day. And there's possibility this month, of a new written piece, be on a lookout for that!



With love Always,

Happy Turkey , Giving and Black friday

Happy Thanksgiving and Gathering!



The week of Giving , Cooking and laughs all around; oh and Little shopping in involved.

Are you ready for the buffet? And the three football games ?

This week is the beginning of the holiday season in my opinion. Seeing people that I haven't seen awhile since the last family gathering. Connecting with family without the need of a phone and apps. Seeing their faces and getting a big warm heart means more than anything.Waking up to a full house of love ones and fresh pot of coffee is the best even if that means we don't all look our sunday's best yet. Giving each other time with one another, a card game or two. Giving each other a little grief over certain memories that are a little too funny, not to bring up at every thanksgiving meal like tradition. I would like to point to out that I am Usually the one entertaing everyone with those memories coming up because I tend to be the indidunal getting injuried or say things I shouldn't say out loud. Just ask my stepbrother , he always gives me a hard time when he sees me but I enjoy it that means he actually kinda likes me if he doesn't admit it.

I also enjoy the giving back to the community through local shops for the christmas ornaments and yes I get that done before thanksgiving week. We as a family like to pay it forward when we are in line somewhere. And we enjoy picking a angel from the salvation army tree to help a family with their christmas. Giving is important through out the holiday season for everyone, you never know what giving to someone unexpectly could change their lives and what it mean to them without even knowing of them.

I am fully prepared for Maverick to swipe the turkey off the counter at any second, since he so tall now and his chin can reach the edge of the table top. Since getting that little guy and they said he has no food drive , let me tell you , Not true. I am hoping for his first thanksgiving , he won't sneak it away to his bed; Knock on wood for us. Besides Mavericks acticts, I can't wait for the thanksgiving meal with all the fixies! We all share a hand into preparing the feast in some way and form. I tend to do a side or two and possible dessert. I am considering making a fresh pumpkin pie this year. I always make sure, I get out of the turkey duty part. Because if there's a dry turkey on the table, I don't want the sides dishies coming towards me after the prayer. Better to be safe then in fire at thanksgiving table in my opinion.

Whats on your thanksgiving table? I am curious to know, is it all the same dishies every year or do add different dishies each year?





And its the time of the year where Black Friday is upon us. And the sales are on super early and deals go quick. I used to enjoy the black Friday experniece but the last few years , the Madness of the stores hasn't been worth it in my opinion. I do the thing where a few weeks I do some reaseach ideas of gifts for everyone and the add to my carts online, then save until the week of thanksgiving to purschage extactly what I need to get without go through all the madness. I called it the easy breeze shopping expereience with the discounts. And after that , I get a little yummy coffee from my favorite local coffee shop in town. I call that a win in its self. We has a family head to the local bazars in the town for little gifts to exchage.

Do you shop in stores on black Friday or online type of person?

Before I end this post, I have to know; do you start christmas dectoring right after thanksgiving day or the first of December? We are the type of family that starts dectoring , that Saturday. And yes we even put up the tree as well since everyone is in one place.

I hope you enjoy your feast or buffett of sorts! Get your deals and steals , Black Friday shopping; stress free Holiday.

With love always,

P.S : I can't wait for the christmas this year!
