The “All I want for Christmas” EditionAngela thought about asking for her two front teeth this Christmas, then changed her mind since she already has them.That would be weird and just a little morbid.Instead she asked for...and received...a visit home to see all the family! This meant three different houses in just two days.They got to see Grandpa … [Read more...]
The Christmas Chronicles
Part IWe are freshly home from two days of Christmas travel (arriving home LATE last night and doing little else than brush my teeth and read a paragraph of my current read before passing out—not literally—until this morning) and I have a fair share to do to feel “caught up”.(Can someone tell me, please, exactly what that feels like?)And so, in … [Read more...]

Last night I was at a Christmas party for my daughters’ American Heritage Girls troop. The junior leaders chose as their theme “A Baby Shower for the King of Kings,” complete with shower-type party games and a table full of baby gifts for a local shelter.The girls had a blast.

It did, after all, have a fair share of grit, and is it good to be gritty on Gaudete Sunday?I didn’t know.I closed the comments on the post, as is my way (usually) when what I write is rather sad and pathetic.
