Singing in church yesterday morning, my Mom leaned over and said "Quiet!" ~
"How silently, how silently the wondrous gift was given ..." ~ O Little Town of Bethlehem
And, of course there is Silent Night!
Cultivate a heart of worship and a spirit of worship in our homes.
Go for a nature walk and bring some of God's beauty indoors!
Light a candle.
Create from the gifts God has given.
Take time to enjoy and capture special memories together.
Enjoy all the extra beauty around us this time of year!
Bring joy ~ visit someone who can't get out on their own.
Seize opportunity.
Turn off all the lights except for the Christmas tree and enjoy!
Stay home, snuggle, take a nap.
Serve.
Take yourself to the bookstore and enjoy inspiration and eye candy.
Read a book.
Enjoy a quiet cup of tea, hot chocolate or other warming goodness.
Enjoy a cozy fire!
Enjoy a cozy fire!
Snow = quiet.
Play and sing Christmas Carols together.
Take a quiet walk through an antique store and have fun thinking of the uses for all those interesting and random items! {I liked this vintage folding sewing table but decided it just wasn't a good fit for our house.}
Watch a Christmas movie!

loved all those ideas! thanks, Monica!
Singing our own carols definately has a different sound than the constant soundtrack in the stores. Yes, it is, in its own way, quiet.
And snow definately puts a hush on the world. It seems to insulate our surroundings from the sound. We are experiencing many days of rainy weather. I would gladly trade it for some snow.
I appreciated how the Christmas tree was lighting the top of the stable in the 'lights out' picture.
I would add reading our favorite Christmas picture and devotional books to the quiet list.
