Warm Christmas greetings...again

It looks like we're not going to have a white Christmas. But, that's fine with me since it means safer traveling. 

 I have added a new gadget to my blog: 

 It's a way to search for books.  You could use it to buy any Christmas gifts if you haven't finished your Christmas shopping! 

I've been doing lots of Christmas projects with Charlie:
We made a Santa list:

 And we also made gifts for his Mommy, Daddy, and Uncle Mike.

Max has been doing some beautiful Christmas decorating: 

But we always need to remember that Christmas is not about gifts but about sharing ourselves with others in whatever way we can.  Embrace family and friends during this season.

 Love, Mary

December Greetings

Greetings, Peace, and Joy from Mary, Max, and Izzie

 

 Where did October and November go? It seems like just a minute ago we were taking walks with Charlie, picking up acorns...

…and now it's suddenly December! 

We’ve had 2 BIG snow storms already:

 I love the wonderful Christmas decorations that are appearing all over our neighborhood. 

I especially love the lights:

…and the Crèches, which always remind me of the gift that God gave us by coming into our earthly world as a tiny baby.    This brings me great peace and joy.

 

Something else that always brings me peace and joy is knitting.  Here is what I’m currently working on:

This is a neck warmer that I had made as gifts last Christmas.  It’s a free pattern that you can download at  http://bit.ly/19xWtdc

 

And, speaking of knitting, I have published my first book!  It’s been a real adventure.  You can read about it and/or buy it at https://www.createspace.com/4471973
Some of my students have asked me to order it for them, so if you live near me, I would would be glad to do that.

Wishing peace and joy for each of you always…

Love, Mary
