[ putting together my December daily journal/album]

Today finds me readying my book to join Ali and so many others who have decided to take a few minutes out of each day in December to notice, document, photograph and write.  I'm very excited about this project, as last year a broken camera on Thanksgiving day set me back, and I never did get started.

I'm looking forward capturing those story-telling moments; the simple, little rituals that we share as a family during the Advent season, leading up to our Christmas celebration.  I think this will be invaluable for my kids to look back on one day.

Though there is year-end paper work looking back at me, I'm very much feeling the spirit of the season upon us.
