Once a Year by Josh Wilson

I love this song becuase it is so encouraging to keep the spirit of Christmas going all year long, not just during the season.  Everyone, including myself, feels so much more motivated to give and share at Chrsitmas time, but the reason we celebrate Christmas is because Jesus was born.  If we have accepted Him into our lives as Lord and Savior, we are free to have the same joy fill us all year long.  The holiday ends in December, but Christ reigns for eterninty. 

 

So why don't we celebrate Christ mas more than once a year?

This is the chorus:

Once a year December's here and our hearts open up
Once a year we give with cheer to those who don't have enough
Wouldn't it be something if we all learned to love
Like it's Christmas more than once a year?

Color Coordination

Color Coordination Makes Me Happy

I just love to match up all my outfits, down to even the stuff you can't see when I can.  I match my accessories, like pens for example, too.  Since the Christmas season has snuck up on me so fast, I have only gotten to do two outfits so far!  I need to get on it...

 

In the top picture is my Peanuts snow day t shirt, my Charlie Brown Christmas Tervis, and some "Be generous" chapstick that I bought for only a dollar at Target.  (Target is my favorite store to Christmas shop.)  I love how that not only is cute and Christmasy, but it reminds me to be generous with all that I have.  We also watched the movie at school Friday!  My phone case is from SkinIt, where I customized it myself. 

This is the outfit I am wearing at the moment!  (I forgot to put the socks in the picture, so I put them separate below.)  Today I am wearing the bright Christmas green with elf socks and bow earrings.  Bath & Body Works is my favorite place to buy body care items this time of year.  Their holiday scents are fantastic!  I used vanilla bean noel today since it is green and matches color wise.
