Happy times

 

This picture with  the older couple reminds me of such happy past times when my grandmother was alive and later when she was not but my mother was and my father, and we had at our house a very large Christmas Eve dinner and lunch on the Christmas day.

They would come, also my sister with her husband and son and my brother with his wife. I had children then and it was a very happy time.

But we are where God puts us so we must accept each season in life and be happy with what we have. 

I haven't with me my grandmother, mother and father but I have my own children and we have happy times as we are. And we give thanks to God.

So, let's be happy.

Now I will post here some work of Trevor Mitchell which picture so well the cosiness of Christmas in family, that wonderful comfort of after lunch when people was alredy well fed and just seat relaxing and enjoying the happiness of having a family.

Happy times.

Time goes by and new generations replace old ones, now it's me who is becoming older and my children are adult. These are new times but can be happy too, so it's such a joy to see Christmas approaching and doing all the preparations.

Thanks be to God.

It's the most wonderful time of the year

 

 It's the most wonderful time of the year
I though of posting this on the 28 of October, the day after the last birthday of the year. Only in October we have four! So, even if I think all the time about Christmas and Rudolph lingers in my head day and night and I buy lots of presents and even wrapping papers all month and even in September, after the birthdays are over I declare open season and I sing aloud all the Christmas songs I want.

I went already looking for Advent Calendars to buy and took pictures of them so at my home they choose the ones they prefer.

I know that before Christmas we have Advent but each thing has its own purpose. I don't forget Advent and what it means but I must live the joy promised to us in each Christmas with the celebration of the
New Born King.

But for now let's be happy with the small things of life and live all the details of the Season.


Stroling the streets, watching the decorations and doing window shopping, seeing the Christmas trees and the happy families.

Such joy.


May Our Lord give us a very peaceful and happy time while we wait for Christmas.
