"I need a silent night, a holy night..."
To hear an angel voice
through the chaos and the noise...
Keeping Christmas simple as I decorate my new home means seeing the peace without the chaos.
I gave away container after container full of Christmas decorations when we moved out of large home. I kept my ornaments with special meaning and my children's ornaments, my Itty Bitty Moosetivity, our stockings and a few other special items.
All of those decorations were perfect for my tiny house but I LOVE decorating for Christmas.
I was a little concerned my decorations would be "lost in the space" of our new home.
My decorations did not get lost in the space of our new home but instead became focal points for Christmas.
We are able to see the peace without the chaos.
My sons newly made Christmas nativity from his homeschool class became a point of interest instead of becoming lost in a display of multiple nativities (as before).
My daily developing card "tree" brings joy to my heart as I remember all the love that is showered upon us by friends and family throughout the year.
"...I need a midnight clear,
a little peace right here
To end this crazy day with a silent night..."

Regina, I love this. Since cancer, I have taken on the same view of Christmas. Family, friends, and plenty of love and laughter, all with God in sight.
