there is much Christmasing going on. trees, snowmen about, cards hanging, my favoritest of all favorites, The Nativity....so love this time of year. it has become a bit melancholy for me. my mother so loved decorating and painstakingly choosing gifts for her friends and family. pounds & pounds of fudge made, dozens of cakes baked, and cookies too. i do miss her so. what a beautiful Christmas legacy she left. she taught me what Christmas was truly about...goodwill towards men.
