Joyful Wishes

Some Christmas wishes are too good to keep to yourself.

Joyful Wishes is a collection of six cheerful reminders of the things we hope the season brings—something to believe in, a reason to be merry, plenty of love and joy, laughter around the table, and a little more peace on earth.

Each ornament turns one of those wishes into something you can color, make your own and hang on the tree year after year. Whimsical trees, snowflakes, hearts and playful patterns surround the words, because Christmas doesn't have to be terribly serious to mean something.

Gather around the table with people you love, put on the Christmas music, pour something warm, and color awhile. Don't worry about finishing quickly. Don't worry about making yours look exactly like anyone else's.

This isn't about making perfect ornaments. It's about making a Christmas memory.

And when the season is over and everything else has been packed away, those six little wishes will be waiting for you next year.

Believe. Be merry. Love. Laugh. Be jolly. Choose peace.
