Welcome December, Darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                                         Who knew that 2024 would match 1822?



                                         If only more things matched 1822.  Families. Visiting. Presents.  The kind of excitement and anticipation one got from this month as a child.  If only that could have been preserved forever.  Alas, it could not.



                                          December is a month of reflection.  The coming of Jesus, our accomplishments during the year, looking to the year ahead.



                                           As children's author Joan Walsh Anglund said, "Christmas is a time of giving."   "Christmas is a blessed time of love."



                                           Let those words be our mantra for this entire month.  Let this December be a joyous time of love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Victoria, I agree with you, but we can still summon up memories of those Christmases of long ago. I am grateful for that.
