This time of year holds a special place in my heart. I truly feel the Christmas Spirit. One of my favorite Christmas quotes is as follows:
“Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.”
~ Calvin Coolidge
As my girls were growing up I did my beset to teach them that Christmas is more than just a time for receiving gifts. They learned quite young that it is more a time of giving and loving than getting.
Every year, through our church we would adopt a family and make sure they had a Christmas meal and gifts to go with it. It was all done anonymously in the true spirit of giving. I am proud to say that they have carried on with this little tradition.
Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year.

Yes, right, Christmas is the most glorious and wonderful month of the year, but this time if the virus continues to dominate the world, there surely be loneliness. We may be able to celebrate but not like the usual activities we had in the past Christmas celebrations full of joys. Hoping this pandemic ends very soon

I have told everyone no gifts for me, but I will bake gifts for them. The elderly is on my list this year, again.
