Merry Christmas 2020


Far Guy and I wish you all a Merry Christmas!  

This is a sweet homemade gift from my baby brothers grands.   It was made especially for us and delivered with a smile. 

 


Luke 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour which is Christ the Lord. 

This year as we celebrate the birth of Jesus, we are reminded that even though things may be different this year..Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever.

Does that mean that we miss our daughters, son in law, grandchildren and great grandchildren  less...no.  We will miss the laughter that filled the house, the sometimes dangerous games of spoons and lining everyone up for photos by the Shiny Brite Tree....and the hugs. 

Possibly the only things that are the same this year ...the wreath by the front door, the Nativity on the mantle and the caramel rolls that await taste testing. 


We watched the Christmas Eve Service live streamed from the church we were married in....traditionally our family fills a pew or two at that service on Christmas Eve.

Merry Christmas! Though this year will be much different than Christmas' past, I'm hopeful that next year will bring us all together again.

Take care and stay well.

It is a different sort of Christmas, but your post added sparkle to my Christmas. The nativity that your grands made for you is beautiful! Enjoy your day. 2021 is on the way. Stay safe and happy.

Merry Christmas! Yes, I'm missing visiting my kids this year, but hopefully things will back back to normal in 2021.

Merry Christmas to you and Far Guy! I enjoyed seeing your gift today. Our day is pretty much the same as yours. We had sweet rolls for breakfast, the ham is cooking and now we're just relaxing.
Take care you two and stay safe.
Blessings,
Betsy

Merry Christmas. Your children made a sweet manger scene for you. We are at 30 degrees right now. We too had a quiet day.

Merry Christmas. I won't miss those awful family photos. We can never sit still long enough for "Mom" to snap the picture. So she ends up having to do it over and over and over again! ( Great memories...)

It was a different Christmas for us but still a good one as we two are healthy and together, and there is FaceTime and Zoom. Hope your day was special in its own way,too.
