Christmas


It has been chilly and damp outside
but
 so wonderful and warm inside .

I like bright and shiny things on my table and tree
that
give off a soft glow in the evening and at night .

I pray your Christmas will be filled with the gifts of
peace
forgiveness
love
and
hope
that come from knowing Jesus .

 I have made my wish list
and
I think
chocolate,a bird feeder
and
paper white bulbs would be so nice
 underneath the tree
on
Christmas night .

  5. I love the Christmas village. I've always wanted one but won't allow myself to purchase because it would just be that much more to store. I hope you get all you wish for.

  6. Your collection of winter houses/churches is lovely. My collection consists of one tree, yes, one tree. After I bought the snow covered fir tree I realized that I did not have a good location to display a scene. So I have my tree on my coffee table with some christmas balls and a bowl of peppermints.

    I love to go to stores and look at there displays of Christmas, and halloween little towns. Electric trains make me scramble to get closer - I am worse than a kid.
