Merry Christmas 2004
Welcome to my home on the net. Christmas is my favorite time of the year. The decorations, the candy and cookies but mostly because it is when we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, our Lord. We pray for peace and love and so seldom are there truly either. This year is no exception. So I think we need to add tolerance and understanding of our differences as well as peace and love. I think we all need to pray very hard this year.
This year is extra special for us. We have many friends in Iraq or other places in that part of the world. We pray for their safely as well as all our Troops. Our prayers are with them and their families. But our daughter's friend TJ came home from Iraq in September. He spent Thanksgiving with us and so far has survived the family. *L* He is a very special young man and we are happy to get to know him. Julie, whose husband is currently in Iraq, was with us too. Our nephew Erinn, our friend Jennifer and Kelly and our son in law John rounded out the group. We were truly thankful. Julie will not be with us as she is going home to California to be with her family. We will also have a young man over for Christmas Eve dinner. We haven't met him before but he is a friend of Katie’s and is away from his family. Over the years we have had many like him at our table and are very happy to do so again. It is the way it is with military families.
Please look at my other Christmas related sites. They are a lot of fun.
All links away from this site will open to a new window.
Homemade Christmas Goodies page
This link will take you to my new Christmas Goodies page. There you find links to the different catagories of treats on the right but please look at the rest of the page. It's a lttle more work be but I love the graphics. If you want it short and sweet, no pun intended *G*, then the old link below will remain active. Also I hope some of you have it bookmarked from previous years. Which ever link you use I hope you enjoy. There's nothing like home goodies anytime of the year.

May Christmas lift its magic wand
Above the common place
To dress the barren, ragged shrubs
In fantasies of lace.
Wrap in winter's splendor
Mountains, fields and trees;
Hang sparkling crystal tapers
Along the weathered eaves.
Sift darkness gently, softly,
Set out the evening lights,
Then let a hushed tranquility
Descend upon this night.
