Christmas Joy To You!

"The children were nestled all snug in their beds,

while visions of sugarplums danced in their heads."

And Grandma just had a cup of tea, because she has hours to go before she sleeps.

 I picked this up when I traveled south recently.

I bought some Land O'Lakes Lite butter by accident.  Then I thought I'd go ahead and use it, because it will be better for us.  It did not perform well.  My Russian Teacakes and Pecan Fingers dough doesn't act right, and bake light at all!  Now I'm not going to get the cookies I wanted to take tomorrow night to a seven-fishes dinner.   Silly me!  Isn't "Lite Butter", or  "low-fat butter" an oxymoron? 

  I'll have to get some more butter in the morning and make something else.

I attended a middle school concert the other night.  My granddaughter sang beautifully, and it filled my heart with joy!   The teacher is marvelous, she recently won a big award, which included a piano for the high school! She had the girls dressed in lovely ensembles,  black velvet tops and long, black satin skirts.  They wore pearl earrings and necklaces- very elegant!   It's so good to see young people enthusiastically  participate in choral programs, lifting their harmonious voices to bless us with glorious songs that honor the holidays! 

 Pure joy for grandmas!

I've been getting emotional when I hear the Christmas music.

  I still cry when I hear "The Christmas Shoes", and "I'll Be Home For Christmas"!

But I love the music, it means so much to me to really feel Christmas,

 and all of it's true meaning.

 I hope you keep Christmas, and a song in your heart too!

Have a wonderful Christmas! 

May you keep Christmas in your heart

all year long!
