I was able to mark another item off my Christmas bucket list last night ...
I got to watch Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer on TV! It's one of my favorite Christmas shows and I look forward to it every year!
After Rudolph was over, Frosty the Snowman came on and you just gotta know that I watched it too!
As I've mentioned before, I have a kid's heart when it comes to Christmas!
Why I do Blogmas:
It's no secret that I love everything about Christmas! From the day after Thanksgiving till the last box of Christmas decor is packed away and put back in storage for the next year, I love every bit of it! My husband and I are senior citizens who generally spend the holiday season alone. While we do have lots of very good friends and our church family nearby, all of our children live far, far away and have children of their own to make holiday memories with within their own homes. They are very thoughtful to include us in as much as possible via technology and we are so grateful to them for going beyond the extra mile to include us.
I started doing Blogmas because I had a choice, either lose myself in sorrow over what I could not change or embrace the love I have for the season and share it with others. I chose to share my joy in the journey not only with my children and grandchildren long-distance, but with others who love the season as I do and who just might find themselves spending the holidays alone as well. I hope in some small way you get a glimpse of holiday joy through these Blogmas posts and that it spills over into your life this holiday season!
Meet you back here tomorrow!

We, too, live far away from family. I know it's hard on our moms when we can't spend special times with them and they only get Facebook photos to mark the occasions. I hope you are able to enjoy a happy time this cozy season. I've just gotten back into blogging and have been visiting my old friends on my blog's link list. So many have stopped blogging! I'm happy to see you're still sharing your home and faith here in Blogland! Blessings! Sarah
ReplyDeleteI wish we lived closer to each other. Even though I do have my only child & grandchild close by, I'm the only girl. They enjoy what I do for them for holidays but it's not the same as having someone who initiates & enjoys it like I do. I really appreciate the ideas you share & that you encourage us to celebrate on our own just for ourselves.
ReplyDeleteFor us it was Mickey's Christmas Carol and Father Christmas. Hubby recorded them off TV many years ago.
ReplyDeleteWe also set up the few pieces of my Dad's Christmas village that the boys brought to us after Mom's funeral. I didn't realize how hard it would be to see them again.
My favorite is "A Christmas Story." How many of us got our tongues stuck on a frozen metal pole, huh? LOL!!
