Christmas Ornaments

Christmas ornaments may have a special in everyone's hearts depending on who you are.  As a child, I received a special ornament from a grade school teacher or from Sunday School. My grandmother would give me a special ornament as well.  I only have a few ornaments that I personally have bought myself.  Now, my mother has bought my son a special ornament each year for what activity he is in like baseball, football, scouts etc.  Many couples have an ornament that says First Christmas together. I know some people have a themed Christmas them with the special glass ornaments or with ribbons  or special colored lights.

What kind of ornaments does your tree have on it?

Christmas Songs ...

I enjoy hearing most of the Christmas songs that are out there.  It does bother me a little when they start playing non-stop Christmas music before December.  Christmas music is special because you only hear in during this time of year.  Those special Christmas hymns one may only hear on Christmas eve night at church.  Each singer has sung a song their own way even though it has been done before.

Away in a Manager --- I used to remember this song as one the little kids would sing in the Christmas program at church.

Silent Night --I remember learning to sing this song in German.

A few of my favorites: Where are you Christmas?,  Joy to the World, Do you hear what I hear,

Do you have favorite Christmas songs?

The Month of Christmas

December is all about Christmas.  To me, it is a shame that people and stores put up decorations before the month even starts. I do not purposely listen to Christmas music before the month starts either.  Why should we rush Christmas to get here?

Christmas is about so many things.  This month I will try to write a post each day about something related to Christmas and what it means to me maybe.

Thanksgiving Day 11/26/2015

Today is Thanksgiving. I probably should be writing this later. But I have time now. We are going to my parent's house for lunch.  Today I am thankful for family those under my house and immediate family. Glad that everyone is safe and healthy at the moment. I thankful for my new job. I work tonight at 7pm.  I am thankful to be able toblog, and socialize on the web with other bloggers. I have become friends with other bloggers.

Thankful for Date Nights 11/24/15

Date are far and few for us.  We don't get out and do much anymore. We stay at home and watch television and hang out the neighbors.  Tonight is that night. Our son will be at a wrestling meet. So we are going for free Chicken chunks without him at the bar down the street. Plus cheaper without our son.  When we were dating we used to go bowling all the time. Time away together is a good thing.  Just be happy.  

Thankful for my husband 11/23/15

Ok, I know I maybe should have done this one already. I have been trying to do different posts than the ordinary ones.  My husband and I have had some rough patches. He can get on my nerves sometimes.  Lately, my husband has been different.  I guess it is because his new job.  He has off weekends now.  He actually has been fixing things around the house which normally I have to bug and bug him. Grateful for the fun times. He is funny and smart.  He sees things different than I do sometimes.   We enjoy playing certain video games together or watching television shows together. I have been with my husband for 17 years now.

Thankful for my Adirondack chair 11/19/15

This is my favorite chair. It is so easy to relax in it. I sit in it mainly when I let the dog outside. I take my phone and sit in my chair and relax.It is the perfect chair for me.  This is my second one. The other broke when I husband sat in it weirdly let's say.  This one I got for free along the street. It is a little broke I can still sit in it.  Do you like these chairs?
