Merry Christmas!

 

From my house to yours, I wish you a very "Merry Christmas!"

3rd Sunday in Advent

As we prepare for Christmas, some people light a weekly candle on their Advent wreath. Mine was handmade in Siberia, Russia by a small, family owned business. 

When will Santa come?

 We are all anxious for Santa to arrive.  What gifts will you request? 

Lifetime Christmas tree

 

The towel services department at my local gym has also prepared for Christmas. 

Through the snow

 It was snowing and the roads were slippery as kids were on their way to school.

Berries and flakes

 

Cathy Patterson Miller took this lovely photo of the recent fluffy snow sitting on tree berries.
