all is calm. all is bright.

It is hard to believe....but Christmas Eve-Eve is upon us. That means the big day is just a couple of sleeps away. How does the time always seem to go by so quickly? When I was young, I couldn't wait for Christmas morning to roll around. Now that I am older, I want it to wait a little longer. There is a huge part of me that is desperate to slow things down and hold onto these holiday moments for a little while longer. I want to enjoy the build-up, the magic, and anticipation for as long as possible. It is a time of such bliss! Since it is officially almost Christmas, this post is all about inspiration.

Few things give me that warm and fuzzy feeling more than holiday themed photographs. Whether they are ones from my own collection of holidays past or have been found online....they all seem to fill me with this beautiful sense of wonder. It is a bubbly sort of happiness. One that can keep the holiday spirit alive long after the presents have been unwrapped or the last decorations have been put away. On that note! Here are a few of the holiday pictures that are making me smile today. I hope they bring you that same sense of wonder and joy.

Which picture is your favourite? Are you all ready for the holidays?
