December is a funny month. When you are a kid, it lasts forever. When you are a adult it is gone in the blink of an eye. It sneaks up on you like a cat that brushes your leg. Before you can look down to see what happened it is already gone. Just a tail disappearing behind a door.
December is quiet snowfall and hustle and bustle and honking horns. It is kind words and merry gifts and dead lines and stress. It is a time to enjoy your friends and family and yet it reminds you of those you have lost.
It is the best of times. It is the worst of times.
This is how it goes.
I hope your holiday season isn't too stressful. I hope you aren't lonely. I hope you find time to be still and reflect.
Here are some simple gift tags you can print off if need them. If it saves you a trip to the store then I'm a happy girl.
They look best on white card stock. And you know, a little glitter makes everything fabulous.
Stumble It!

I think the yin and yang of Christmas is what makes it So. It is the beauty of Majestic Angels and a Dirty Barn all on the same holy night.
Thank you! I was just trying to find a tag for M's teacher's gift and you saved me. Hurrah Hurrah!
Thanks, April! I just finished sewing some Christmas nightgowns for my girls and now I can finish wrapping them up. Off to get the glitter out! Merry Christmas!
Oh, my gosh! Thank you so much for these. If you can believe it, I actually DID need to go to the store and buy tags! And now I don't.
Thank you so much --
