Catching Up

It's been a while since I've posted. I had been busy getting things done for Christmas. As you see below, I've been busy.

Grandson's Afghan for Christmas

This afghan turned out really nice. Hubby helped me make it. Actually, he did the braiding for the Jacob's Ladder. That saved me a lot of headache! This was the second full-sized afghan since I started in November. I've made a baby afghan, which I'll have to show later. I'm almost finished with a shawl (for me!) and I'll post that pic later, too.

Speaking of Christmas.

Christ is Born! Glorify Him!

Merry Christmas to all of you who are Orthodox Christians and celebrated yesterday, January 7th.

All the best to all of you who read my blog. Take care.

Holidays at Our House

I hope You and Yours had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Yes, I'm a little late posting. However, we just celebrated our Christmas last week. My Hubby and I celebrate according to the Julian calendar for Orthodox Christmas. Yes, we celebrated December 25th with our Gregorian calendar family, too. Both were very quiet days, which was really good.

Here's the loot for our 4-legged babies. This is the second year in a row that we've finally convinced our relatives NOT to exchange gifts. I'm thankful for this economy. It helped sway everyone. Anyhow, gifts aren't the Reason for the Season, right?! We've already been given the greatest Gift of all and we could never top that!

We don't buy for ourselves and haven't done so for about 18 years. My Hubby and I have all we want or need. It makes us happy to watch our Angel and Trixie open their gifts.

How simple can that be?!

Take care. I wish many blessings for You and Yours throughout the new year.
