Turner Classic Movies
I plan to watch a few old movies over the Christmas vacation. Here are some that I have already watched/plan to watch.
Winter Flannel Sheets
I have never owned flannel sheets, but I think it would be fun to have some over the winter months. I especially would have loved this when we lived in Pennsylvania, where it was much colder. There are some really cute flannel sheets out there. Flannel sheets would make a great Christmas gift to give to someone.
Life Lately...days before Christmas
...we had a wonderful Christmas service at church - with a Choir Christmas Cantata
...here are the boys right before the service
...I made a delicious dinner for myself (while the 3 boys had homemade cheeseburgers)
...Christmas is coming
...I got some fun books at the Library
 |
| The "Oh Gussie" book was such a fun read |
...I have some new reading to do
...got some cuties today at the grocery store
...I got Michael a treat for the weekend

| these are the cutest little cans of pop |
...Jar and I went grocery shopping today - the fridge and freezer are full of food for the weekend
...we got our Christmas box from Grandma Smith today - we are always so excited to get this
...Michael wrapped his gifts last night - the pile is growing
...and just a final note - please, people, stop sending glitter Christmas cards. I cannot stand them. They leave glitter everywhere. (sorry, one of my biggest pet peeves)
Luke 2
Luke 2 is one of my favorite passages in the Bible. It is just beautiful. I never tire of reading it every year at Christmas.
Luke 2King James Version (KJV)
2 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.
2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
This photo somehow reminded me of this beautiful true-life story.
