MERRY CHRISTMAS!! The most wonderful day of the year has arrived, and we hope the day finds you in cheerful spirits and surrounded by love – whether it be distanced or nearby. ππ πΌβ¨π
We know that it can be difficult to #StayMerry, especially these past couple of years, but our holiday wish is that you can find merriment…even if just for a moment. Our mother, “Lolly Christmas”, believed in ‘staying merry’ even on her darkest days, and she is our biggest source of inspiration. We hope that this Christmas brings you comfort and joy because we could all use that right about now.
It’s officially Christmas Eve! No matter where you are in the world, or however you celebrate, we hope your holiday preparations are jolly and full of cheer.
We will be celebrating #LollyChristmas-style, by baking cookies for Santa Claus, having a Christmas movie marathon and getting the house ready for the weekend before topping off the night with a reading of “The Night Before Christmas”. π πΌβ¨π
There are officially 100 Days Until Christmas! That sounds like a long time, but believe us when we say it isn’t. The season will fly by, so we urge you to take each moment as it comes. Enjoy all of the cheer the entire holiday season has to offer… no matter how big or little that cheer is. β¨πβ¨
The Christmas movies will begin airing on Hallmark on Friday, October 22nd, and we can’t wait to share more info on all of the new films as they are made official. Let’s hope we learn more later today given the milestone we’ve hit. *fingers crossed*
Another way we’d like to honor the 100 day mark is to celebrate Lolly Christmas herself. If you read the latest post, the namesake of our website, is battling the motor neuron disease ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis aka Lou Gehrig’s disease), and we have created a GoFundMe to raise money for adaptive devices and treatments to help her in this fight. If you’d like to give back in honor of the holiday season — or because you’ve enjoyed the merriment Lolly has spread this past decade, then we ask that you please donate to her cause. If you’re unable to donate, please still share her GoFundMe on social media and with anyone you know; your church bulletin board, your community, etc. Every little bit helps and there’s strength in numbers. Click here to view the fundraiser!
We hope you #StayMerry today and every day that you’re blessed to be given. β¨πβ¨
Lolly’s Song of the Day:TobyMac – “Bring On The Holidays”
I really enjoy counting down until Christmas because it allows me to not only carry the spirit all year long, but I also get to share my excitement of the upcoming season with all of you!
The summer has really flown by; it both feels like forever since Christmas in July and also like I blinked and the entire summer flew by. In fact, next month we will reach the 100 Days Until Christmas mark! I’m excited for Christmas, but I also wish time would slow down just a little bit so I could get all of my holiday planning in order.
Can you believe it?! There are only 200 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!
I’m so excited to start getting ready for the season with the upcoming celebration of Christmas in July! I always feel like as soon as July is over, we blink and the holidays are here – so with that in mind, I’m going to really try and enjoy the time leading up to the Christmas season. Time moves so fast. I feel like I just took down my decorations and now we’re already inching closer to LEON Day, which is NOEL spelled backwards, and marks June 25th as six months away from Christmas day.
I hope you have a super festive day and that you #StayMerry!
