Christmas Greetings from Denman Island

December 24, 2019 By JPMcLean 10 Comments

The word "merry" spelled out in gift tags

Christmas Greetings from Denman Island

December 24th is my favourite day of the holidays. For me, it’s the calm before the storm. The day when I concede that if it (insert: baking/decorating/shopping) hasn’t gotten done, it’s not going to.

Time to grab a nog, hunker down by the hearth, and relax.

As 2019 winds down, I’m reminded how very fortunate I am. Fortunate to have a loving family. Fortunate to have friends to share a glass of wine and a laugh with. Fortunate to have a warm home and food in the cupboards. All this, and more I wish for you this holiday season and always.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, winter solstice, Kwanzaa, New Years and everything else you celebrate!

Thank you for being a part of my good fortune. I’m grateful for your continued support, enthusiasm and the small kindnesses that make my days brighter. Christmas Greetings from my home to yours.

 

Cheers,

Jo-Anne

    Merry Christmas to you as well. We’re changing our traditions this year, and celebrating with my son-in-law’s family tonight. The day’s busy-ness starts soon. Enjoy your holiday.
