As the year comes to an end I like to take some time to reflect on the what this year has encompassed. There have been many joys and some heartaches, this year has also shown me how fragile life really is. I am grateful for all the new friends I have made and saddened by ones that have passed. I lost two very special people in my life this year and while it is extremely hard to deal with I know in my heart that they are watching over me and we will meet again.
On a lighter note, I will be running a giveaway to thank you for being a loyal follower so be sure to enter and invite some friends as well.

ReplyDeleteHi Joyce, Happy New Year!!!
DeleteWe celebrate Christmas. The only tradition that we have is setting up the tree on 24th and not a day before.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty cool, and it must be a lot of fun since I am sure there is a lot of anticipation leading up to it.
DeleteHappy New Year!

ReplyDeleteWe celebrate Christmas this time of Year!!😍 We do have many traditions! My favorite is collecting mistletoe with the kids! We bag it up all pretty & let the little ones sell them for a dollar each to earn money for Xmas presents & to buy blankets tots & food for a couple local shelters! We've celebrated this tradition for over 35yrs! Its the Best!!😍
Happy New Year Kris!
DeleteThat is a wonderful tradition, I am sure the local shelters are grateful for all you do.
We celebrate Christmas by opening gifts on Christmas eve
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Sarah!
DeleteMy kids would be so jealous, we do open a few from family members on Christmas Eve I make them wait until Christmas Day to open the majority of their presents.
