Vintage Crochet Snowflakes

How is everyone doing?  Are you all ready for the big Thanksgiving Holiday?

I am usually on Team Thanksgiving…but this year I decided to get my Christmas up early!!!  I had the help of several of my grandkids and kids!

So with all of their help, I was able to get everything all done in the decorating department in just 2 days!!!  I think I will recruit them every year from here on out.

Today, I have a fun idea that some of you might want to give a try.  They are Vintage Crochet Snowflakes!vintage crochet snowflakes Continue reading →

He Is The Gift-video

Christmas, Church, , , , ,

Merry Christmas Everyone!  

Just wanted to share a quick video…He Is The Gift.

This is from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  It is a couple of years old, but I could watch it again and again!  Hope you enjoy it too!

May we all remember the reason for the season.   Share your love and yourself with others and make this a Christmas to remember!

Love you all and hope that your holidays are filled with peace, love and family.

I know that there are many out there that do not find joy in the holidays.  I hope that you can find peace in your heart and that you will let the true meaning of Christmas fill the empty spots.  The Savior is the  reason we have so much to celebrate.  

He is the Gift!

Thanks for Visiting.  Merry Christmas to all!

Favorite Christmas Tradition

Christmas, Service, , , , , , , ,

I thought that I would kick off the Christmas season again this year with my Favorite Christmas Tradition!  

We have been doing this tradition in our home for several years now and I always look forward to it more than anything else that we do!  

Even if you do not do this tradition in your home…it is a great story to start of your holiday season and get you in the true meaning of Christmas!

We started this Christmas tradition in our home few years ago.  

My children are all grown and married, and every year we would go through this little ritual.  They would say, “Mom, what do you and dad want for Christmas?”  and I would reply “that we really did not need anything,” and I could never come up with any ideas for them.

We usually all get together for Sunday dinner, and five years ago at one of these family nights, I read the following story to my family.  

This reminds me so much of my own husband.   He does not like the commercialism of Christmas.  Just like the man in the story.  Thus was born the tradition of the “White Envelope”.  

It is truly the highlight of Christmas for my husband and I.  We wake up on Christmas morning and we read the letters from each of our children and their family.  I must admit, that it usually brings tears to our eyes!  What a beautiful way to start our Christmas Day!

This is my “White Envelope”, I made it out of fabric and it goes on the Christmas tree.  

You could use any white envelope, but I decorated it up and we use it year after year.  All of the grand kids know exactly what it is and they get caught up in the spirit also!
