Peace On Earth, People

Allison, Emily, and Kailee H., six, two, & nine respectively

So, I've been sitting here trying to find some sort of Christmas-y jpg to put on our blog, and well, nothing I searched for hit home for me. I looked for holiday images of the Mississippi Coast - none. I looked for Kris Kringle - meh. I looked for Peace images - same old. After exhausting my Google abilities to no real avail, I started thinking; What is it in this world that is important to me, and gives me a reason to want Peace on Earth during my lifetime?

Of course, there is Jeff, all my little creatures that share our home, our families, our friends, music, art, and all the other things that give me a reason to get up in the morning..... and then I remembered that my sis-in-law, Kristen, sent me some photos of my nieces the other day.

I cannot think of a better reason to want Peace on this Earth than for these young humans. And I don't mean just them, even though they are the closest to my heart.... symbolically, they stand for all the children in this world.

Besides all of the well wishing, and Happy Holiday tidings we usually send out, it is our wish to you and yours that you have a Peaceful holiday whatever you are celebrating, and Happy New Year. Thanks to each and every one of you who have touched our lives, worked or hung out with us, bought art from us, shared their thoughts with us, etc.. We're grateful for the time we've shared with you!

...and to all our friends who have new babies this year, we hope you have the best "first" Christmas ever!
