Happy Sunday, friends! Can you believe it’s the first day of December? Right on que, we had some snow flurries, here in the Mitten state! It’s been a minute since I shared my Mitten Moments with you, so settle in and see all I have waiting for you!
My Personal Moments
- Are you team real tree or faux? I’ve done both. This year, we took to the tree farm, with our family and friends, and cut down a tree! It was a fun day from the hunt of finding the tree, cutting it, and then a great meal spent together when we were finished. If you’ve never cut down a tree, I highly recommend it!
- Do you mail Christmas cards? Although, I send less than I have in years past, I still love giving and receiving them. I think there’s something so special about being intentional in sending cards. It makes people know they were thought of and that you care about them. I started addressing mine and hope to have them out this week!
- I’m heading to see “Wicked” this afternoon. Have you seen it? I hear people in the audience are singing along and many movie goers are furious! I’ll just quietly hum.
