I sing it every year, and I am encouraged and hopeful for the year to come. I know the song on every instrument I play, from violin to ukulele, and I love the message of hope and joy. It has a special meaning to me, so I decided to decorate my mantle with the sentiment to remind me to be joyful throughout the holiday season.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eJoy to the World Blocks Project:\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhitewash each of the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/handmade-by-somerset?page=3\"\u003ewood blocks\u003c\/a\u003e with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/adhesives-primers-and-mediums\"\u003egesso\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePick an assortment of papers from \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/collections-tim-holtz\"\u003eTim Holtz’s\u003c\/a\u003e Yuletide paper pad and Kaisercraft’s Home for Christmas \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/paper-collections\"\u003epaper pad\u003c\/a\u003e.
