I wish all my dear blogging friends a wonderful Christmastime. I am actually doing something I've done only once as an adult. I am keeping the tree until January 6. It just somehow feels right. I also plan to read one of my favorite books on that day, Little Christmas by Agnes Sligh Turnbull.
Every Christmas, Margaret, Matthew, and Hazel give us our Christmas tree from a local grower. This year newly11-year-old Hazel chose it. It is the fullest and most beautiful one we've ever had.
I love that tree, Nan. It is so lovely it makes me want to cry. I haven't felt very Christmassy this year, maybe I should have listened to more Christmas carols. Love and a Happy Christmas to you and all of your family.
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you Tracy. I'm sorry you haven't felt Christmassy this year.
DeleteLovely! Merry Christmas, Nan. And wishing you and your family a happy and healthy new year.❤️
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear friend. And I wish the same to you.
DeleteMerry Christmas! I hope 2025 is a safe and happy year for your family.
ReplyDeleteThank you!! And the same to you.
DeleteWhat a lovely tree! First of all, can't believe Miss Hazel is 11 - wow! Time does pass. Merry Christmas to you, Tom, and all your family. Big hugs and love sent!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it either. Thanks for your good wishes, and I wish them right back to you!
DeleteMerry Christmas, Nan. Hope all is well for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Hope yours was a good one.
DeleteGreat memories and what a beautiful tree. It's been a pleasure keeping up with blogging friends again and I certainly like checking in on yours!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you are happy to be back in the blogging world. I am gradually coming back. I have so missed very many people.
DeleteBeautiful, Nan! Wishing you all a happy and healthy 2025!
ReplyDeleteThanks you, JoAnn. And the same to your family!
DeleteMerry Christmas and happy new year! Your tree is gorgeous. I have allergies, so an artificial tree that I often keep up until Epiphany.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the allergies. The smell is amazing and lasted the whole time it was up. I wish the same to you.
DeleteHazel picked out a lovely tree, didn't she?! I hope you & Tom had a wonderful Christmas. Cheers to a Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteShe did! And we praised her highly for her choice. Same to you for this new year.
DeleteThanks to each one of you for first, reading my blog when I am so sporadic in posting, and two, taking the time to leave a note for me. I am really trying to get back to the blogging world, which is so full of joy for me. Thank you, again.
ReplyDeleteHey Nan! Your tree is lovely. You said you would be taking it down on Jan 6th, that is today! I took mine down yesterday. I miss it. Hope you are well and enjoying your sweet grandchildren. Dear Nan, you have lots of folks in the blogging world who think you are wonderful. Don't forget it!!
ReplyDeleteI took it down on the 5th, too. And what a nice, kind, caring thing to say. Thank you so much.
