“Yet my heart loves December’s smile as much as July’s golden beam; then let us sit and watch the while the blue ice curdling on the stream.”
Emily Brontë
December is here, and this felt like the longest AND shortest year ever. Christmas is 21 days away, and though our festivities may look different this year, the One we celebrate remains the same. Jesus is our comfort, our joy, our hope, and the reason for this season. 🌲🌟
Each month, I send out a much longer version of links and loves which always includes recipes, and recommendations for random things like clothes, skincare, makeup, books, and such. It’s much more personal and is the place where I share more private topics with my readers. If you would like to receive that, you may sign up here. At the end of each month, you’ll find it waiting for you in your inbox It’s typically loaded full of good stuff!
