When my son, Steven was in the sixth grade, his teacher invited me to come and speak about Christmas around the world. At the end, the children all enjoyed making an ornament from a European country and many of them chose Germany for the delicate hand blown glass ornaments. The children painted them beautifuly. This turned into a party for the children! I always love to give a party at Christmas! I want to make it a lovely time for the children so that they will remember this time all their lives. With our own children, we always made the holidays fun with baking, decorating the tree, hot chocolate, egg nog and Christmas music! These are traditions that I still love and cherish and are special memories I believe for my beloved children. I am sure that you too have may traditions and are making Christmas special in your home! It is just beginning! Enjoy this blessed season when Angels sing and the Glory of the Lord regins around the world! Joy to the World! Let it begin and let it begin within our own hearts.......
I hope you enjoy these lovely photos that I have from France that remind me of Christmas.......I love white all year and a touch of red too, but especially at Christmas! Enjoy!
