Christmas magic is silent. You don’t hear it — you feel it, you know it, you believe it. ~Kevin Alan Milne One of the times when that magic is so real, especially for kids, is on Christmas Eve. I do remember feeling that magic, that anticipation, that feeling of wonder. Do you? The picture is of my family’s tree …
Do you remember when you were a kid and you counted the days off until Christmas? You always knew exactly how many there were to go. Fourteen, thirteen, twelve and on. Well, I had to count them off on the calendar, but now there are ten days until Christmas Eve when many families will be gathering to enjoy the holiday …
When we recall Christmas past, we usually find that the simplest things — not the great occasions — give off the greatest glow of happiness. –Bob Hope Do you have your Christmas tree up and decorated? I don’t. Yet. I will. Soon. Tomorrow I’ll get the ornaments out of the attic and maybe drag up my tree from the basement. …
My idea of Christmas, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple: loving others. Come to think of it, why do we have to wait for Christmas to do that? –Bob Hope I’m guessing most of you do have up your Christmas tree, but I’m confessing that I don’t.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Did you sing that along with me? No, we don’t have snow although we might see a snowflake this weekend. That will be a change after short sleeve weather yesterday. Anyway, no big snow yet. This picture is from a winter four years ago. I wanted to find a picture of a …
“The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree is the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other.” ~Burton Hill Finally with a little help from my youngest grandkids, I got my tree decorated. Isn’t that the way of it? The ones old enough to be real help stop wanting to help with things like this while the little ones who …
I did my Christmas decorating today. It no longer looks as if I’m moving in or out with all the boxes – except for one room where I’ve got boxes piled to the ceiling for present wrapping. Well, maybe not to the ceiling, but a big pile for sure. You have to have the right size box for your present …
