What fun to go blog visiting at Christmas time! Seeing your special ornaments and recipes and reading about your memories. And remembering the reason behind the season. How God became flesh and dwelt among us, to take on himself our sin at Calvary so that we who repent and believe on the Son Of God, may be saved from the judgement to come. "I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved." John 10:9a. Saved from hell to heaven, oh glorious truth.
We have not started our Christmas shopping yet, but next week we will and hopefully, bring home our little treasures for under the tree. I would like to read one of Grace Livingson Hill's wonderful Christmas stories this year. They are treasured friends. I haven't read any of her books for about oh my, 6 years or so? Simply because ...as my Mother said, I almost know the stories off by heart I've read them so many times. Its time...I think, to read her again. Maybe "Brentwood" or "The Christmas Bride".
Christmas Shopping..by Rebecca McCann
"Well, since I'm always late with shopping....At last I've thought what to do---This year I'll buy each friend two presents, And label one for next year too."

That is a great idea...buy two and label on for next year...I had not thought about that one. Course you need a place to keep them. We are about done with shopping because we hardly did any. Take care...Sandy
Frohe Weinachten und eines gutes neues Jahr!

here i sit, tap tapping away - in our new condo!
the boxes are on one side of me, but i thought i would relax abit before heading to bed - and that means going online!
Lord willing, maybe tomorrow i will clear a path here in the dining room to the kitchen ... figuring out where to put things!
:) ... still smiling ...
blessings!
My word, I haven't read Grace Livingston Hill since I was a teen. I loved her back then.
Hi Maggie Ann! Love your Victorian pictures!
May God richly bless you today--I can tell you are a blessing to others!
Yes, it's so important to remember the reason for the season :-)
Happy Christmas shopping :-)
I love how you include the glorious Gospel in your blog! To God be the glory! As always, enjoyed your post!
I forgot Grace Livingstone Hill existed! I like her books but once youve read one youve read them all. But they sure do hit a nostalgic chord with me!
