Merry Christmas

I have no followers at all, and I don't think but 2 or 3 people who even read this .. but to those few, I thank you! :) And I wish you all a very Merry Christmas!

I haven't followed my "schedule" too closely; but Christmas has arrived anyway! :) Each year is a learning process. Next year will be even better. One very important thing I have learned is that all the pretty decorations and baked cookies and wrapped gifts mean nothing if you don't have family and friends to share them with.

We are celebrating the birth of Jesus. Nothing will change that. But all the extra "trappings" that seem so joyful dim a little unless they're shared.

Merry Christmas!
Happy Birthday Jesus!

And some more pictures

Here are a bunch more pictures from my house. Hopefully in the near future I'll have the time and energy to go in and label them! LOL! Meantime, hope you enjoy sharing my house.
