Christmas Stories
It was a warm time at my Mom’s last night. We started by enjoying a meal of ham and roast beef. Of course my sister in law brought her famous raisin cream pie. (My favorite) Then we went to my brother’s church. Small church of about 30 people. Janine, my sister in law is great on the flute and did a special. The lights were turned off and we enjoyed the candle light service. The Pastor had an unforgettable sermon. He spoke about a King wanting to win the hand of a maiden. He took off his Kingly robes and became a simple servant in a small village. Over time the maiden fell in love with him, then he revealed his true title. Jesus laid down His titles to draw us in love with Himself.
Then back to my Mom’s to open gifts. There were close to 20 of us. It was a wonderful time.
I’d love to hear your Christmas Story.

sounds like a lovely service. we enjoyed the company of close to twenty of my stepmom’s family. such a large group! the kids and i are visiting my dad and his wife for the first time in over 18 years. it has been a joy to be here, but i am homesick. we leave tomorrow at the crack of dawn.
Every Christmas is has its stories. I stay home for Christmas every year, and I visit my daughters & families, younger one in Austin, TX and the older in Arnold, MD when I can. Last year, I went to Arnold for a few days after Christmas. Usually, I go to Austin for Thanksgiving, but this year I didn’t. I will be in Austin this year after Christmas until New Year’s Eve. I like to be home for the traditional Trivial Pursuit game I play with my friend to see in the New Year.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.
~~Peace, Joy, Love & Prayers
Sounds like a lovely time
btw to answer your question (authors) I’ve read a couple of Colleen Cobles Lonestar books and Aloha Series book. I’m waiting til my mama can order a few more for me to read
Randy, this is Mike from Wayne. Sounds like a great time. The other day you was telling Kelly and I about a book that you had read about a troubled young lady. Can you please post the name of the book and author on my facebook page. I am really interested in reading about it. Thank you and God Bless you and your family. We appreciate all the kind words and support you give us.
@jtqueenbee30 - 1st time in 18 years – wow – what a reunion.
@DonnaLou - Game with your friend – sounds like a great tradition. We usually just sleep during the incoming New Year.
