December 5th - Christmas Count Down

Only 20 days till Christmas... there is SO much to do. I've listed the top 25 on my "To Do List" .. I'm sure there are more things to do, and some will be done more than once (like #20). Time for me to get "really" busy and get some of these items checked off.

Dec 4 - My Christmas is Perfect

Christmas time brings the need to be "perfect" out in all of us. Buying the perfect gift, displaying decorations perfectly and the children are on their best behavior (some times).  For me, the perfect Christmas is one filled with family get togethers. The one time of the year almost all my family is together under one roof. From my parents, siblings, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. There is usually 1 or 2 missing, but they call during Christmas Eve dinner to join in the fun. 

Every Christmas is Perfect with my family!

Christmas Cards.... Dec 3rd

 I made special little notes for each of my sons today. Handwritten and waiting for them to read some other time when they need to remember how Mom felt about them.

The Weather Outside is.....

We always have a chance for a white Christmas in Kansas. I do hope it waits until my oldest son makes the 700 mile drive from Wyoming so  we can all be together for the holidays. Then.... It can snow all it wants!

JYC - December 1st

Today I begin my journal of the Christmas Season. A time to look through the window of my life at memories of a past Christmas, the present Christmas and using the candle in the window to light the way to a Christmas in the future.


Each day spending time to reflect, relax and to create a special page that captures the moments and feelings in time.


Put all together here for my sons, to let them remember our time together.
