Christmas Day

Gift by Joanne Faries

take time to say thanks

thanks to all loved ones

remember your past

shed tears of joy, not sorrow

breathe deep and look around

no phone, no electronics, no gadgets

breathe deep and look around

let your mind take the snapshot

    of the moments  

                                                         

of love

Be back at New Year's. Until then - Peace and Love

Christmas Eve

Bountiful Season 

Christmas cheer and goodwill

from mountains to prairie to sea

rooms glow festive with candles

bells chime to bless you and me

pray for soldiers' safe return

full stomachs and treats

peace in all hearts

delightful friends shall meet

family hugs all around

laughs and stories galore

let this spirit prevail

holiday season and more

Wednesday Christmas Wacky

Gotta have some wacky Christmas going on.  Ray has a membership of some sort with Maker's Mark whiskey. It has proven amusing. As you can see, his Maker Mark bottle received a sweater one year.  This year - ear muffs (and Ray got a ski type headband)

Tis the season

Tuesday Christmas Penguin

There's always a fun new ornament for the tree.  Ray bought this for a school fund raiser.
Yes, we supported education and have amusement to boot

Monday Christmas Clothes

What to wear as Christmas approaches?

Thanks Linda T for my sweater.  We find it amusing.........she's from New York and I'm from PA
(She got them on super duper sale at an after season sale last year)

Tis the season

Sunday Christmas Reading

It's that time of year for some Christmas classics.  Truman Capote's A Christmas Memory is wonderful.  Then How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss is fun. "Twas the Night Before Christmas" must be read on Christmas eve. Don't forget A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.

Or sit and tell your own Christmas tales - the magic is there
