Merry Christmas!

Published: Dec 25, 2013 · Modified: Dec 24, 2014 by Rebecca Pytell · This post may contain affiliate links.

Christmas morning. Beauty, silence, love, joy, and bliss. I hope you will be spending a lovely day with family, friends, and love. I am awake in my house waiting anxiously for my family to get up 😉 I enjoyed not pancakes or waffles or even quinoa flakes for breakfast. But I went to my classic all-time never-gets-old favorite. A big bowl of cereal! Crispy no-salt puffed brown rice, mesa sunrise, and some honey rice puffins. Not to mention the tablespoon of cinnamon I poured on top 🙂 Now that is a Christmas morning breakfast. As I sit here and enjoy these little moments that make me happy, the best is still to come. My family will soon gather around in the living room, open stockings (the best part!), then move over to the other living room that contains the beautiful Christmas tree. We will open our presents, laugh, smile, cry, and gives hugs. Most importantly we will all be together even if just for a little while. I will soak up these coming moments and never forget them. I will treasure them and hold them tight.

Last night was a wonderful time as well, with my family (on my mom's side). I will be recapping for you later this week or next just like I know all my fellow bloggers will. It will be fun to see everyone's day's and families. Joy and love is a wonderful things and should be held on to and never forgotten. Unedited moments of pure bliss are the best 🙂

I am signing off now and going to enjoy the day. With no fears, no restrictions, no guilt. Just love, strength, joy, grace, and happiness. Be merry and be loved my friends 🙂
