Merry Christmas Sweet Friends!

Dear Friends,

The cookies are made. The presents are wrapped. The preparation of the last month will soon be over. The anticipation is 95% of the fun isn't it?

I am going to be taking a blogging break for the next week or so. I may peek in sometime before the New Year, but then again, maybe not.

Before I sign off I have to tell you that one of the many things that has brought me joy this year is being able to communicate (even in tiny ways) with those who come to read this blog. I have kept up with friends that I might have lost contact with because of time and miles. I have also met new friends, and reconnected with friends that I would have liked to have known better.

I wish I could sit face to face with all of you together, even if you are lurker (both the lurkers I know about, that would be you CSG, and the lurkers I don't), and share some coffee (or tea, or hot chocolate)and laugh together over something warm from the oven. There wouldn't be child interruptions, or phone calls, or work schedules to keep us worried, and busy, and distracted. We could just hang out, The La Vida Gals, and really chat. Of course, that isn't how the blog works, but I am incredibly grateful for the way it facilitates relationship (and community) even in it's own interesting kind of way.

I pray that you have a Merry, Merry Christmas.

With love,
Kellie

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ,
and the love of God,
and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
~2 Cor. 13:14

Merry Christmas to you too, Kellie! It's been a lot of fun "getting to know you" through the blogging world. I hope you have a really relaxing and enjoyable break and I'll be back checking in on you in the new year.

I am emerging from this lurk to say that I am a real vulture when it come to lurking and for that I am sorry! I am so thankful for you and hope we can talk again soon. When it comes to friends like you, there is never a need for an upgrade! :)
