This has been one of the most relaxing
Christmas's yet, for me.
Simple,
Yet sweet.
Presents mailed, packages wrapped,
time for cooking, baking
and focusing
on
the birth of Jesus!
We've enjoyed our preparations this week~
What a delight
 |
| This is a great little book I found at the library that goes through the origin of Christmas carols and the meaning behind them~ Fascinating stories! |
 |
| Did you know that the 12 Days of Christmas Carol was originally written as a teaching tool for the children of the Catholic underground about their faith? |
 |
| Yummy Martha Washington Candy mix~ (otherwiseknown as 'Georges' at our house) |
 |
| Dipping chocolates~ |
 |
| One for you, one for me~ |
 |
| The finished 'product' Olivia did a great job dipping this year~ |
 |
| Our Christmas tins for family, friends, & neighbors~ |
 |
| Filled with carmel corn & candies... |
 |
| Oops~ This little helper 'tuckered out' in wrapping gifts |
 |
| Our traditional gingerbread house was made~ |
 |
| And, the focus of it all~ Christ's birth (I'm so glad He came Son of God & Son of Man;I couldn't live my life without Him!) MERRY CHRISTMAS! |

Jennifer,
A belated Merry Christmas and happy New Year!! I have been gone much of the time during the holidays, and so much has happened to keep me from visiting anyone's blogs very much. I am really sick right now with a deep chest infection/head cold. you wouldn't want to be around me Lol. I pray you are all well and staying toasty in your beautiful place! I didn't know that about the 12 Days of Christmas carol...I'll have to read about it.
