Catie - There's a Feeling in the Air...


A time of joy and togetherness

There’s a feeling in the air of magic with mistletoe and holly hanging above

Movies watched during the Holidays

Ornaments hung on the tree while dancing around to Christmas music with antler ears or a Santa hat on

Shopping in stores decked out in Christmas lights and decorations on a chilly night before coming home to sit by the fireplace with hot chocolate

Presents underneath the tree

Home for the holidays with the ones you love

Everyone gathered around to have eggnog and celebrate the Holiday season

Remembering past holidays and traditions while making gingerbread houses and snowflakes

Each stocking filled to the top with treats and candy canes
