Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

I hope this year brings joy and peace to all of my friends and family!

Our Christmas decorations are out and waiting for the arrival of Santa.  The red and green quilts are hung along with the wonderful things that remind me of my friends and family every year.  The stockings that my sister, Gayle, made for us years ago, the cute snowman applique made by my sister, Doreen, and my sister Val’s cross stitch angels by my crèche.  The swag I made from a kit from one of the fabulous knitting tours I took with Jean Moss.

On my “Santa” Christmas tree (an idea from quilting friend, Susan) are Santa ornaments I’ve been collecting from friends and family for years, including special ones made by family members long gone.

I guess you would say that Christmas evokes memories of times past and times to come.  I wish you all the very best this Christmas as you celebrate with your friends and family.

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Joyous New Year!
