Ready and Waiting

So it's out and up. Following a minor mishap where we mislaid the baby Jesus - twice we're ready and waiting. The girly is beyond excited as we start the countdown to Christmas and then, very shortly afterwards, her birthday.

I love advent. I love the promise and hope it brings. I love the pretty lights and sparkle. I'm less keen on all the other stuff that's pushed at me from August onwards but this year I'm choosing to ignore it all and wait in hope and expectation that amazing things can, and might just, happen.
