the day after thanksgiving is always a
quiet one ... at least in our home. we don't do
black friday, we rather hang out somewhere by the
water. minimal people out so it's quite lovely to hang out
without the noise. peaceful.
it was a cold day. after a pleasant stroll
we warmed ourselves with a good cup of coffee.
once home we set out the ginger bread
house kit and got to work. better yet, Riley and
Jacob got to work. i think i helped with placing a few
candy decorations. i was busy making felt partridge birds to
hang on our Christmas tree. when a craft catches my eye i am completely
devoted to seeing it through its entirety. i really enjoy being engaged in something
fun and home made. i'm sure i'll share them soon in a post.
i like to keep busy. that is, a good kind of
busy. not a rushed or overwhelmed busy but busy
in the sense that i want to be totally engulfed in the current
season. keeping busy doing pleasant things. keeping my mind stimulated.
and taking a nap every now and then of course.
i started a new tradition for myself. i began buying
Christmas theme books in the Fall and the goal is to try
to read them all by january 1st. the one i couldn't get to was
billy graham's book. i hope to add it to next Christmas reading stack.
learned quite a bit about unbiblical doctrine and i am so glad
i did. Voskamp is one of those unbiblical authors that has come
to my attention. there are so many popular Christian authors that have
a large following and have written a lot of books. when authors begin to change
doctrine to fit their narrative that's when one has to be careful, and just because these
authors write so eloquently doesn't mean that what they are teaching is sound doctrine. i
will write more on this topic every now and then as i continue to learn more about it and will
share it on here.)
i was thrilled when my patriotic Christian Christmas
cards arrived in the mail. since i love God, my country, and
Christmas i thought, why not look for a Christmas card that show
all three. i was so happy when i came across it. isn't it such a perfect
combination? i sure think so!!!
i love thanksgiving leftovers. i especially
love to make myself little sandwiches with turkey
and cranberry sauce on those delicious yeast rolls. they are
oh so good! and with some sweet potato casserole on the side. i
actually eat that as my dessert. it's that good to me.
autumn's going out of business due to threat of snow
goldenrod and aster chrysanthemum must go. bumblebee's
out browsing nectar's almost gone, it's autumn's final
bargain days with winter coming on.
