We have but a wreath on our door, as I cannot seem to find the time or the energy to do more. The hours and days go by too quickly and before I know it the day is upon me and I have not accomplished what I dreamed of, only what I saw that needed to be done. I am trying to find peace within myself as I feel struggle with feeling less accomplished than my friends. The holiday is about love and worship and hope. It is these three qualities I want in my life. Hugs, my friend. You are quite wonderful and perfect just the way you are.Katy ~https://www.blogger.com/profile/01622340191299379349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514502647370679597.post-16057991718375011862009-12-13T13:09:15.300-05:002009-12-13T13:09:15.300-05:00Christmas is an event of the heart.

If I may venture an opinion....it sounds to me like you have Christmas just right for you and your family. I hope it will be a good one.

I work too.....outside and inside the home....grin. There seems to be less and less time as we get older...I can see it now. I am glad you are sitting by the tree basking...grin! Love it. Yes, I have my one chair and one area where I had enough energy to decorate...and I sit there and enjoy. Christmas still permeates throughout the house...for it truly is the 'spirit' of Christmas....not what we see. Thanks for sharing your home cooking with us all year. We, as George has said, have been the fortunate recipients. A very Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13953079867758399259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514502647370679597.post-38112663871278185142009-12-12T10:49:16.333-05:002009-12-12T10:49:16.333-05:00Linda, the Christmas holidays are about joy and I ...Linda, the Christmas holidays are about joy and I am a believer that joy comes in many packages. Like you I appreciate the creativity of others, but find joy in the simple things ~ a wreath on the door, small tree in the den and the smell of thinks baking in the oven. The gift of giving is in all of us, which can come as simply as "a wave & a nod" to a stranger on the street or fresh baked cookies to an aging neighbor.<br /><br />Congratulations to your first year blogging ~ we all are the benefactors of your friendly post and delectable recipes! Merry Christmas and a Joyous New Year!George Gastonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788686834764003341noreply@blogger.com
