🎄 Merry Christmas! ❤️

Wow, Christmas is here. It seems time just flies by in the blink of an eye. And after all the lead-up and the hustle and bustle, Christmas is upon us.

I wanted to take this time to say how thankful I am for all of you who’ve embraced me, my family, and the Uptown Tea Shop. I enjoy all the decorated trees, holiday lights, and festivities, but these connections are what the season is all about. I’m truly blessed for all who are in my life!

I wanted to leave you with a great Christmas quote but couldn’t decide which one I liked best. So here are a few of my favorites.

it’s a frame of mind."

and try to keep it all the year."

"Christmas isn’t a season.
It’s a feeling."

"My idea of Christmas, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple: loving others."

"Christmas doesn’t come from a store.
Maybe Christmas perhaps means a little bit more."

Have a wonderful holiday!!!

With much love in my heart,
