  • It’s early Christmas Eve morning here in the Hippie Hut and I can’t wait for all of our family Christmas-ing. ❤ Like much of the country, it is so SO cold here in the deep South – much colder than we’ve seen in a long time – and my joints are just not loving it… Read more

  • Happy Christmas Eve eve, y’all. ❤ I’m so excited for Christmas.

  • Today is December 8th, the anniversary of John Lennon’s awful passing in 1980. Of course, we all know of his many (many) contributions to music worth celebrating – but, in terms of all things holiday, have you even really Christmas’d yet if you haven’t heard “Happy Christmas (War is Over)”? Over the years, it has… Read more

  • Christmas season includes so much of my favorite music – and so blogmas will as well – but the song I want to share today isn’t actually a Christmas song. Instead, it’s my very favorite one this year and it’s from Elevation Worship and Maverick City. The performance is beautiful and message is so dear… Read more
