Visit Pink Saturday and Beverly and all the sweeties there…
Wait– least you think I had forgotten…Just as promised the latest Short story… 
Saturday Afternoon…
Rex, age six, came in wearing my bathrobe and carrying a mop handle. He sat on the stool and looked at the flashlight. Nancy, age ten draped a sheet over her head, stood behind Rex and began, “ I’m Mary and this boy is Joseph. Usually in this play Joseph stands up and Mary sits down, but Mary sitting down is still taller than Joseph standing up so we thought it looked better this way.”
Enters Trudy, age four, at full run. There were pillowcases over her arms. She spread them wide and said only, “I’m an angel.”
Then came Ann, age eight. I knew she was a wise man because she had on her mother’s high heels and walked like she was a wise man riding a camel. On a pillow she carried three items, undoubtedly gold, frankincense, and myrrh. She walked across the room and announced, “I am all three wisemen. I bring precious gifts: gold, circumstance and mud.”
That was all. The play was over. I didn’t laugh. I prayed. How near the truth Ann was. We come at Christmas burdened down with gold, and the showy gifts and the tinsley tree. Under the circumstances we can do no other. And it really does seem a bit like mud when you think about it. But my children saw through the earthly and found the real reason for Christmas– to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.

Precious story and lovely red decorations (especially love the carolers) but it’s your COLD winter wonderland photograph that will stay with me as I enjoy the much needed rain falling gently here in Southern California. Stay warm

We don’t need elaborate decorations or a big tree or numerous gifts under a tree. All any of us needs is to carry the spirit of Christmas in our hearts and to share it all year long with everyone we meet.
Thank you so much for sharing your blog with me today. Yes, I’m crazy about ♥PINK♥ but I’m also devoted to visiting some of the nicest blogs in cyberspace.
Hoping your weekend is filled with peace.
Your decorations are beautiful and I just loved the story you shared. I hope you are enjoying your weekend.
Claudia, thank you for sharing another precious story. I so enjoy my visits to your blog…..Sarah
Claudia,
another lovely story. Your decorations are stunning, I can only image how gorgeous it looks. Snow, now I think your neck of the woods wins hands down for the most snow.
Have a lovely weekend.
