I made a batch of jam to give as gifts; it took a lot longer than I thought it would, but, I listened to Christmas music while I made the jam. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-14199624512530171452020-12-03T23:32:03.811-08:002020-12-03T23:32:03.811-08:00Thank you, Jules.

If she is able to come down, that would be lovely. If she isn't able to visit, well, as the song says, "we'll have to muddle through, somehow" (the words of the song Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, as sung by Judy Garland in the movie "Meet me in St. Louis"; the lyrics were changed afterwards, as they were deemed too gloomy!)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-33141520281364554932020-12-03T07:19:44.293-08:002020-12-03T07:19:44.293-08:00What a lovely list!

All the songs about being home for Christmas and that. Sigh. I am going to focus on the positive.

It may be sunrise, a good cookie, or a comedy on TV. However, I do want to sit down soon and think about what special things I want to do that only happen this time of year like driving around to look at lights. This is already turning out to be a big year for people decorating their houses.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-64318738561167456442020-12-03T04:48:41.379-08:002020-12-03T04:48:41.379-08:00I have lots of joyful activities planned for Decem...I have lots of joyful activities planned for December.
