                You include lots and lots of interesting stuff in your blogs.  It takes me forever to read everything and listen to a few choices of music.

                I always wished I could pick, plink or make music in some way.  I bought a concertina once and all I could ever learn to play was the hym, "At Calvary" and a Bohemian folk tune my mother loved.

                I can see you in all those jobs. I once did them but now I am not doing any Christmas except bits and pieces. I have noticed George has begun to pick and sing some of his favorite Carols. Forgive my lie at the first, I really did all those things except sing in the choir. I never could sing.

                This post is almost literally radiating your warmth - and it warms my heart! And I too love Handel's magnificent 'Messiah'...

                A lot of people love the process of the Christmas season...I did not know that is how you met your husband.

                I'm so glad you redid and finished your post. It was great to read. I loved the way you made a list of all the things you love about Christmas. I enjoy the season also. Thank you for such a heart-warming post.
