Friday Faves – Edition 46
Friday Faves. It's already Friday. I hope that if you celebrated Christmas that it was a lovely day. We went to a Candlelight Christmas Eve Service and had our traditional Christmas Eve feast.

I titled my post, Festival of Trees, because that is what I call it. Its actual name is Fashions for Evergreens. Quite a "fashionable" name, don't you think? [...]

Time Travel Tuesday – The Christmas Nail

One of our family traditions was started when my children were very young. In the process of adding ornaments to our Christmas tree, I stumbled across the Christmas Nail. Christmas Nail. With Christmas [...]
