Here you will always find the American flag

waving and the American eagle flying.

Home of the

      

Christmas songs, decorating and


celebration of the reason for the season.


So adjust those eyes and ears, I have


nothing but festive and beautiful


music for you to enjoy!











































I just love everything on this porch. Lots to look at

and would make anyone ponder before wanting to

go inside to visit.












Just enough, not too much to make this

mailbox look festive.











Oh wow! Who would not want to receive

this beautiful arrangement?! Who says you

cannot take Spring flowers and put them in

a Christmas or Winter arrangement.














Too cute. This filled with Peppermint tea

would delight most anyone for sure.














I love the dish that this delightful snowman is on.

Goes perfect. How cute. And I think the only two

things that one would not eat - is the round wreath

atop his or her head and the scarf? Perhaps everything

is made to order and can be eaten. Interesting fellow!




Just love the animation in this picture. It does look

like Winter out the window and the snow is

glistening. Those birds are busy and the pedals

falling from the flowers hanging. But of course the

favorite part is the pretty kitty playing.




Love this maroon-color. Such a neat setting.




A bit of chocolate fix today. Someone took their

time making those trees and letting them set up

and then putting them on this cake. Neat!




 
Table runners. Just love them. And another very

simple decoration with the Christmas balls.





Plaids always catch my eye. Burlap too. I love

these and would be simple to make with the

right supplies. Very country.
 









~ A Poem By Virginia~

The Shepherds

 

The Shepherds heard the Heavenly Voices

and, one and all, shook with fright

...who were these Unearthly Beings

bursting into their lives That Night?

 

Were they come to bring harm

or were they messengers from above?

Were the songs they were singing

actually Words telling of God’s Love?

 

But, with Words of calm assurance

that there was no need for fear,

The Messengers proclaimed the Good News

these men had awaited many a year.

 

The Shepherds then  hurried to Bethlehem

to check out what they had been told

...and...true to the Angels words...

they found there The Babe promised of old!

 

Yes, they found Him in the stable

... just as the Messengers had said.

Not in a room at the inn...

but lying in a manger instead!

 

The Shepherds knelt there before the manger

with awe upon each face,

as they look upon The Precious Babe

Who’d come to save the human race.

 

Thus begins the Gospel Story

of how Jesus came to redeem mankind

...how He came to fulfill the prophecy

that was given from the beginning of time!

 

Now we each must make the choice

...accept His sacrifice or reject Him...

and...by our choice...there is no middle road...

we’ll either be saved, or we will be condemned.
