I know that Christmas is right around the corner. This morning it was 26 degree--Yesterday we had snow on the ground--Radio stations are playing Carols and Holiday music--so I must do something about it.
Saturday we put out our few decorations. No outside lights-no big fresh cut tree- no fancy evergreen wreaths--but everything that has home made value to us. We have a small tree that stands on our sofa table, decorated with just about every ornament hand made by me or some friend. The Seasonal pictures hung for the occasion are all stitched and framed by us--a lot of the figurines have been made years ago at ceramics classes that I went to, mainly to remove stress that took it's toll on me from the business--A rusted wreath made by our creative Rozeboom family-etc.-etc. But Oh what memories.
Then I have my Christmas greetings written-sealed and today , delivered to the mailbox. Yesterday I made those Ritz, peanut butter dipped goodies. Today I plan to dip wreath pretzels--then tomorrow Rice Crispy cookies and Chow Mien cookies on Thursday. Have already made Carmel corn and nibble mix. Do you see ,I only plan one thing for a day. Seems I need more time to do stuff these days.
Our church choir has a 20 minute cantata we are giving on the 21's. This year we also plan to give it at 2 nursing homes. One on the 15th and the other on the 18th. They are going caroling on the 10th, but we are staying at church and when they return we will have a snack lunch ready for them. Hot chocolate, apple cider--dips and crackers and all the other fancies for Christmas parties. Doesn't that all sound great?
Our minister has taken another church at South Haven, Mo. He preached his last sermon this past Sunday morning. Mixed feelings on his departure-but some time we will get a replacement. Oh--what a beautiful season. The birth of Christ!.
