Favorites Tuesday – Week Six

Our Christmas.
We’re not busy one single bit during the holiday season. Right. We do tend to make our rounds, but I love making those rounds. Christmas morning, two little heads peeped in to see what the fat man in a red suit delivered. Santa was unprepared Christmas Eve for the ten million stickers and parts that [...]

For unto YOU….
8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good [...]

Favorites Tuesday – Week Five
This week, Kim wanted us to share our favorite song of all time and why. Since I recently wrote a similar post here, I thought I’d deviate only slightly by sharing a favorite Christmas song. Kim won’t mind, I’m sure. She is sweet like that. My favorite Christmas song is “The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting [...]

Holiday Travel.

Anybody up for slaughterin’ a pig or something?
I consider myself a Southern girl but certainly not country. Yet, when I replay conversations in my mind, I realize just how wrong I am. A recent conversation with The Ex: Me: “Are you ready for Christmas?” The Ex: “Yes. I’ve purchased John Henry’s gift, and I even bought myself a shotgun.” Me: “Wow.” {And, [...]

Where is your heart?
This little man, dear friends. Has quite the heart. And, sometimes, he amazes me with the bits of wisdom that oozes out of his little spirit. He must get it from his momma. Or his daddy. Or his other daddy. At the dinner table, John Henry asked, “It’s Jesus’ birthday. We have to get Him [...]

I love Jesus and Santa Claus.
The title of this post is courtesy of a comment my dad left on my blog yesterday. In the spirit of Christmas traditions, Dad simply said his favorites were “Jesus and Santa Claus.” Way to go, Preacher. Way to go. Unfortunately for Dad, he probably won’t love Santa Claus this year due to some serious [...]

Favorites Tuesday – Week Four
Celebrating Favorites Tuesday again with Kim over at Deliberate Hope! Today’s FAVORITE is a favorite Christmas tradition. I really don’t have a “favorite.” I tend to enjoy all of the festivities, foods, and fun that the season brings. But, I thought I’d share a Scandinavian tradition that I inherited when I married the K.T. man. [...]
