The Joy of Hallmark

11 Days Until Christmas.  (We are IN the zone.) 

Sipping Peppermint hot chocolate, Hallmark movie playing, Christmas tree lit, snow falling, kids sledding… It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.  






     I love Hallmark Christmas movies.  Who doesn't? Lots of people say they don't, but that's not true.  I'll admit, the actors aren't great, the stories are cheesy, and you can always predict what's going to happen in the end (haha)... but I always find myself laughing (sometimes at how silly it is) and smiling along with it, because while they might not be the best movies, they do spread Christmas cheer and always go right to my heart.  And I love Christmas cheer.  And things that go to my heart.  I think we could all use some more of both of those things.  

     What have you been doing to other people to spread some Christmas cheer? Have you done any random acts of kindness that went right to someones heart? I'll tell you what.  I was just babysitting and the mom sent me home with a lot of Ghiradelli peppermint bark.  That went to my heart and my stomach.  Driving through town the other night (by that I mean two weeks ago) and seeing a giant nativity scene set up in the middle of the town square, that went to my heart.  Seeing our mailman at Wal Mart last night and him recognizing me and saying hello, that went right to my heart.  You see, it doesn't take a lot to touch someones heart, and yet it makes all the difference in the world.  

I hope you're all having a Merry Christmas!
