A prayer to begin the week and to remember the spirit of the season, by the Rev Thomas Mustard:
Be careful as you go into God’s creation/ For it does not belong to us/ Be gentle with yourself and others/ For we are the dwelling place of the most high/ Be alert and be silent/ For God is a whisper

The Doubles Club Christmas decor would get even the biggest grinch into the spirit… #christmaslights #doubles #newyorkcity

Interesting arrangements of greenery, succulents, and branches on shelves at 1 Hotel in Manhattan.

It’s beginning to look a bit like Christmas. #homefortheholidays #homesweethome #greenandwhite
