Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

Gone Fishin  Lucy Mercer/A Cook and Her Books

I just want to say Merry Christmas to you and yours this Christmas season. I haven't posted much this year, but hoping that will change in 2015.

I'm just planning to enjoy my family and friends this Christmas, bake a couple dozen cookies, listen to Der Bingle croon "White Christmas" and take a few pictures.

Peace and joy to you ~

My Christmas Wish

I want to walk as a child of the Light
I want to follow Jesus
God set the stars To give light to the world
The Star of my life is Jesus.


In Him there is no darkness at all
The night and the day are both alike
The lamb is the Light of the city of God
Shine in my heart Lord Jesus.

I want to see the Brightness of God
I want to look at Jesus
Clear Son of righteousness shine on my path
And show me the way to the Father.


I’m looking for the coming of Christ
I want to be with Jesus
When we have run, with patience, the race
We shall know the joy of Jesus.

- Kathleen Thomerson

May you know peace and joy this Christmas,

Lucy

Merry Christmas!

White Christmas, 2010. Lucy Mercer/A Cook and Her Books

The stockings are hung by the chimney with care and I'm about to settle down for a little last-minute present-wrapping and a long winter's nap. Our mild winter has meant temps in the 70s in December, a far cry from last year's white Christmas, pictured above. I like my house in the snow, and with the porch decorated, it just seemed an idyllic Christmas scene. I hope your Christmas is filled with love, light and good food,

Sending warm wishes to my friends and family out there ~

May you know God's blessings this holiday season,

Lucy
