Santa's Coming To Town



Goodnight
Sleep Tight
Try With All Your Might
Santa's Taken Flight……

                      

What If Christmas Means A Little Bit More?


While we are only in the shadow of the birth of Jesus Christ, the
relevance of this big event holds true even today. The meaning
carries such strength and power, and its giving couldn't be
easier. To love, to extend the hand of kindness, to share and 
witness what grace has to offer for everyone has significant 
meaning. For in giving to others, we gain a sense of peace, quiet
joy, and a feeling of worth. We can't possibly solve the problems 
of the entire world, but within our own sphere, we truly have 
the power.

We Need A Little Christmas…..



There are two ways to look at this very stressful thyme called 
the HOLIDAY SEASON.  You can view it as a super explosion
of stuff that needs to be done, here, there, everywhere, or you 
can take a different look, seize the opportunity to view the magic 
and spiritualness of the whole thing called Christmas Thyme.

SHARE A LITTLE JOY
BELIEVE
KEEP THE SPIRIT  
REMEMBER THE TRUE MEANING


So in the interest of HO HO HO and having the MERRIEST, take a
long look around at what you have, what you don't really need, feel
the moment…. deep breath now….ENJOY!


Merry Xmas from Sam


 For we need a little Christmas
right this very minute, candles in
the window, carols at the spinet.
And we need a little Christmas
right this very minute….
We need a little Christmas now.
-song by Jerry Herman

Feeling The Red And Green & Recipe Thyme..

Glad Tidings of Joy. The 
countdown has certainly
begun. Are you readying
your home for Christmas?
Remember nature when
decorating: evergreens,
pinecones, fruits and nuts,
boxwood, berries, dwarf
shrubs,and topiaries of
rosemary and myrtle. 
Think also of cranberries,
spices like cinnamon, anise,
nutmeg, clove and ginger…
so fragrant. Add candles, 
lights, poinsettias, and your
house will be transformed
into Christmas wonderland.





Find many pictures and ideas 
on Pinterest, in magazines,  
and craft shops. You're only 
limited by what you want to
achieve.    
  
                        
  









Timely Tip;
Remember pets, keep them 
warm while outside, and keep 
those bird feeders filled.

The Many Joys Of December

                                                               
                         
December brings to mind many thoughts.  Family, holiday fun of 
crafting, cooking, and celebrating, decorating the house, sharing 
delicious food and drink with friends, remembering memories of 
Christmas past, and the most important, commemorating the 
birth of Jesus Christ. 
                                       
                                          

With the recent snowfall and drastic drop in temperature, we  
had to shift quickly into winter mode, rakes to shovels, sweaters 
to heavy coats, and gym shoes to boots. Thoughts of transforming 
our homes into Christmas splendor indoors and out took a back 
seat. Now it's thyme. Get those lights out, tree up, and stockings 
hung…can you believe 22 days until Christmas!

                                                

Now no stressing, stay focussed, take a breath…do a little, do what
makes you happy, but remember seasonal calm goes to the top of 
the list. But most of all….ENJOY!!

 IT'S THE BEST TIME OF THE YEAR"….
