Gratitude Chains and a Little Party

We haven't been able to find the kid-friendly ornaments for our little Christmas tree, and it was looking a little forlorn with no decorations . . .


. . . so the kids and I made some paper chains for it.  Joy had the great idea to write things we're grateful for on each chain link, and that turned our craft session into a really uplifting family activity.


Ah, that's better!  And just in time, too . . .


. . . because we invited some friends over tonight to sing carols and act out the Nativity story.  More than once, I've thought I was crazy to be inviting people over when we're in the middle of moving, but I'm glad we did.  It was a joy to have friends over, and Phillip commented afterward that this was the first night in this busy month that has felt like Christmas.
