As the sun went down the Christmas lights began to glow brightly. Our noses and fingers were frosty cold and red from the chill air but in just a few short hours, Christmas had arrived.
On day 2 of our visit to Atlanta, we just wondered around Ikea. I was so proud of myself for not taking home most everything in the store. Of course, this time I did not have time to make a list. Mark did all the planning. I was just along for the ride. It was so nice, because there was no pressure and no schedule. Just the two of us spending time together.
Before leaving Atlanta, we walked from our hotel room down to the World of Coca-Cola museum. It was foggy out and there was a constant drizzle, so the indoor attraction was just what we needed.
Besides, who knows how to say Christmas better than Coke?
Now, Christmas is only a short 6 days away. Pandora is spreading Christmas cheer all through the house. The smell of cookies wafts in the air. The children and I are making and wrapping the last of the Christmas presents. It really is such a magical time of year.
This acrylic on canvas was painted by Steve Penley in 2007. It hangs in the Coca-Cola in Modern Art portion of the museum |
