I am being provoked to better works! Christmas is my favorite time of year! I love the holidays because there is so much hope and looking for good. The year is full of expectation and agenda. Christmas is a time everyone for the most, is on the same page. At least in the bible belt.
David and I got up on the roof to put up lights today! Mission accomplished! They twinkle the edge of the roof from one side of the house all the way to the other. Red and Green icecicle lights hang from the front of the roof. The tree is up and stockings hung! The annual order of S.O.S. breakfast on Christmas morning has been placed. A tradition from my grandfather on my mom’s side.
My favorite smell is when I go outside and I can smell a fire burning from a nearby fireplace. I love to see Christmas lights on houses and trees in people’s windows as you pass by. Christmas is colorful and hopeful. I don’t know of anyone who has a cooler birthday than Jesus!
What kind of traditions do you and your family/families have at Christmas?

S.O.S. …. hmm hmm good ~ Paw Paw loved to cook that as much as we loved to eat it …
SPeaking of Christmas birthday’s … Paw Paw’s birthday was December 25 … and he said once when he was a kid he wished He’d been born in July … because then he could have His birthday separate from Christmas and get more presents. But later was glad to be born on the day Christ’s birth is celebrated… We had his last birthday party in July just to surprise him … and lost him about 18 months later.
What a loss to our family … it has never been the same. Now, that is what being a good parent … is about! But, from the first time i was thrown from a horse he taught me to get up running… and so live goes on!
Love, MOM
