Holiday Posting Continues with My Christmas Shoes

I'm continuing my Christmas Holiday posting by re-posting my Christmas Shoes poem, I hope you like it.

My Christmas Shoes

I turned on the light and threw open the door.

The closet was full from ceiling to floor.

My shoes were all lined up in nice tidy rows.

Some high and some low, and some even with bows.

They shined and they sparkled and were in all different colors.

Some even looked just like the others.

Today I will sort them and decide which to choose.

So I search and I sort and I find the best pairs.

I stack them on floors.

Put them in boxes, and on chairs.

I package them up in a box marked from Kate.

It’s Christmas you see, and it’s time to donate.

I give all year long and at holidays too.

So out they will go ,to be someone’s new shoes.

What’s next you might ask?

Well it’s easy for me.

The coat closet for sure, no one needs more than three.

Wordless Wednesday Fourth of July Adventure

The Unofficial Start of Summer

The Memorial Day weekend is the “unofficial “first weekend of summer. The three day weekend everyone is excited for. Grills are uncovered from their long winters nap, freshly cut grass will fill our nostrils, and plans for the first barbecue, picnic, road trip, and water fight are put into motion. Each year my husband and I sit on our overstuffed patio furniture settled in for the perfect weekend filled with outdoor fun and memory making. Our grandchildren will be playing in the sprinklers, burgers will sizzle on the grill, and my camera will  be capturing every mosquito sprayed, sunscreen slathered moment. So, I say to each of you, “rejoice the summer is here” (soon I will complain about the heat) go out and play! Have a safe and fun memorial day. Make memories, eat too much and wear your sunscreen.   When Monday arrives please join me as I bow my head and remember all of the fallen soldiers that fought to keep our country free. Honor them with your smiles and your fun. They will be smiling with you.

Have a Happy and Safe Memorial Day weekend.

Candy Canes

Candy Canes

The candy cane, it’s one of Christmas’s “fun foods” you can eat it, decorate with it , put pipe cleaner antlers on it, and lick it until your tongue turns red. It’s one of the “sweetest Symbols, of the holidays.

Candy canes came from the creative minds of European choirmasters, who bent candy sticks into the shape of shepherd hooks to present to children attending the Crèche ceremonies. Candy canes came to America in the 1900’s and a few red stripes were added to the peppermint sticks. I’ve often heard that the three red stripes represent the Holy Trinity. What have you heard? I’ve also heard that the hard candy represents the solid foundation of the church and the peppermint flavor represents the hyssop used by Jesus for purification.

So now you know a little something about the candy cane. It’s not just a fresh breath making treat, or a delicious holiday decoration, it’s symbolic too!

Remember the reason for the season.

Christmas is coming Christmas is coming!

Christmas is coming, Christmas is coming!

I love this time of year. I’ve already decked the halls and joined the chorus. There’s no mistaking it, Christmas is one of my favorite times of year. I have cinnamon scented candles burning and carols playing. I’ve hung the wreaths on the doors and filled the candy cane jars. Bring on the non stop Christmas carols on the radio and in every shop, I plan to sing along.

Light covered houses and school Christmas programs, soggy wet mittens and red runny noses, yes, yes, yes bring it on!

I’ve made two trips to drop off food at the local food bank and I’m gathering some toys for the toys for tot’s donation. I’ve made my list for my four beautiful grandchildren and I’m, ready to fill it! Christmas is coming, Christmas is coming!

Merry Christmas everyone! Seasons Greetings, Happy Hanukah and Happy Kwanzaa too!

Thanksgiving

One of my favorite holidays is Thanksgiving.

The simple definition of Thanksgiving is: “The fourth Thursday of November, observed as a legal holiday in the United States to commemorate the feast held at Plymouth in 1621 by the Pilgrim colonists and members of the Wampanoag people and marked by the giving of thanks to God for harvest and health.

The second Monday of October, celebrated in Canada by the giving of thanks to God for harvest and health.”

My definition is: "A day filled with expressions of gratitude shared with family and friends. Preparing and then indulging in a feast that sends you to the couch for a nap immediately after eating. A day filled with Laughter, making Memories and Prayer. A sincere day of THANKS! "

Retailers seem to start the holiday season at Halloween and jump to Christmas with hardly a mention of Thanksgiving. Is it the forgotten holiday? I hope not. I hope in a sense we celebrate a day of thanks every day. But, I don’t want to loose the traditional day of thanks. For me, my friends and family I hold tight to Thanksgiving.

I wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving filled with only good things and good food.
