One of my favorite things during Christmas is to sit by the light of the tree and just think. I've done it as long as I can remember. As a child I would sneak up stairs at night to sit in front of the tree so I could be alone. For some reason I'm drawn to the lights. I can't really explain it other than the lights are very comforting and make me happy.
On this particular occasion, after the kids were in bed and the house was all quiet Adam found me and joined me in my thoughts. We sat reminiscing about our childhood Christmases and how we want to give that same magic to our three.
It's crazy when I was looking at this picture just how much the lights on the tree brighten up the room. I don't think Christmas would be the same without that glow in our home each night. I love it.
On a side note...since we are talking about comfort this week I could have easily shared how the pants I am wearing in this picture are the most comfortable pair of pants I own. So I guess I can say everything about this says comfort to me...the lights, Adam, clothes, and even the hot chocolate.

You don't know me...I ran across your blog through my friends photography blog. After looking at your pictures and seeing your relationship with your husband I wondered if you'd enjoy a blog I've created as well. It's: www.solidmarriage.blogspot.com
I'm LDS, and a mother also, and I live a life much like yours I think. There is more joy by the lights with my husband than anything!
Good for you.

P.S.- what is spt?
So...where'd you get your comfy pants?
I love sitting by my tree too. There is something magical about it, even as an adult!
I love this shot. And I love comfy pants. And I love sitting on the couch at the end of the day with Linc. Good comfort post Amy!
