    Happy December everyone! How is everyone doing out there? For me, this is the time of year where my #1 guilty pleasure engulfs me .... Hallmark Christmas Movies!!! 🌲❤️ I know. They are so predictable. So sappy. So over the top. So unbelievable. However, for me they provide a lovely escape. The ending is always happy. While I know that's not real life, for a short period of time I get lost in the over the top decorations, the most amazing festive baking I've ever seen, the outfits (oh I love the sparkling tops and dresses, the warm coats and beautiful scarves), and the warmth of merriment and love. All in a short 2 hours 😁. The movies remind me that it's important to take a pause sometimes to remember and cherish the things that are important to us in our lives.

    So....what are your guilty pleasures? Anyone willing to share?

    I do love the colour, lights and themes of this season that make us look to giving , especially to those in need. With the snow here, it's certainly looking like a Hallmark card ! Embracing the joy is a lovely escape from the worries. My favourite shows are the Great British Baking Show ( and Canadian one ) and Jamie Oliver's cooking shows, especially the Christmas ones. I would love to go to Jamie's joyous, happy friends and family gatherings. Our family gatherings have shrunk, due to various reasons. It's great though, to bring together those who are now alone, and create new memories. It is sad, however, to note each year, that some chairs are empty.
    Let's try to focus on the joys of the holidays, however you celebrate. Gratitude sustains hope. ������
