Let's take a look at our family gathering.....
I remember how magical Christmas Eve felt as a child....
the lights, the tree, the decorations....the Christmas specials on TV..
all of Mother's decorations ...the special holiday foods.....
you could anticipate the arrival of Santa at some point in
the nights hours...and, the angels singing of the birth of Jesus....
that was Christmas....always.....
It's good to carry those memories with you in your heart...
and count your blessings as family gathers to celebrate....

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely celebration - both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day! Happy New Year to you and yours....
ReplyDeleteOh Betsy, what a wonderful Christmas with your family. I saw mine a week before, and it was so good to see everyone. You look so cute in your furry hat and scarf. That's something I need here in the mountains. Your son's home is decorated so nicely. I love that pretty table runner. The breakfast casserole with the pastry is a perfect breakfast for Christmas. These are sweet photos of you and your sons. Mothers and sons have a special relationship, don't they? Your fudge looks amazing. I sometimes crave fudge, and yours looks so Yummy. My neighbor sent me some fudge she made this Christmas. Your post was delightful in every way. Happy faces all around.
ReplyDeleteHave a bright new year!

Betsy, thanks for sharing the lovely Christmas photos. As Sandy mentioned in the first comment, you are truly inspiring. You inspire me to get off my butt and do better. LOL! Also, I want to thank you for that Boursin appetizer recipe as I will be trying it. I got some Hot Honey as a Christmas gift and I didn't have a clue what to do with it. Thanks and Happy New Year!
