Just yesterday Laura Cerrano and I were talking about our lack of rhyming skills. Obviously Philemon is very skilled in rhyme (actually Timmothy Timm is). What a nice poem/rhyme for Christmas Eve.Another great thought about being thankful not only for the gift but also the gift giver. The bulk

This time of year it's hard not to break out in song. Often we sing for and in the joy of traditional Christmas Carols. Sometimes in the merriment of twisting and old carol as kids do/did with a song like We Three Kings.We have been listening to the sounds of Christmas since Thanksgiving in our h

I don't remember being overly curious about my gifts under the tree and in the house I grew up in the stocking were not hung until Christmas Eve night. In our house we hang the socks up after Thanksgiving so we can put little treats in them right up to Christmas morning.My sister on the other han
