Last night Dom & I went on another "first" adventure - It's so much fun having "firsts"....(even though the numbers are slowly dwindling! :/ ) We got our first Christmas Tree together... Its still very bare but we are letting it rest and the branches fall. We are going to move it in front of our window. I will let you know what it looks like once it is all decorated and ready to be lit to celebrate the Birth of Our Lord!
"We are naturally prouder than peacocks, more groveling than toads, more vile than unclean animals, more envious than serpants, more gluttonous than hogs, more furious than tigers, lazier than tortoises, weaker than reeds, and more capricious than weathercocks." (True Devotion to Mary: St Louis Marie De Montfort pg 49)
"The rung of a ladder was never meant to rest uponm but only to hold a man's foot long enough to enable him to put the other somewhat higher." (Thomas Henry Huxley)
Such a cozy, romantic, seasonal post. I hope you have a beautiful, joyful Christmas with a wide exchange of gifts between yourselves and Heaven!
