Thanks, Steve, for this note. And Beth. I too have memories of the sleigh rides. The excitement of Christmas Eve at church was huge. I was fascinated by the sparkling electric lights on the huge Christmas tree that reached up to the ceiling in the church.

I think you said it just about as right as humanly possible.

Hi Kim, I loved your note. Thank you. And I loved, “the moon blinding out all the stars!” It captures all the brilliance of moonlight on a dark night. Kids see so clearly. Thank you and joy to you and your household.

We just drove home from a wonderful gathering at Darren’s parents. It is late and dark and very snowy. When we get out of the car we all do what we always do when we have been travelling for an hour or so – we look up into the dark night. It is very dark where we live and the stars always shine very bright. Sam exclaims, “look, the moon is blinding out all the stars !” I love to listen to what my kids say – they always amaze me! I am feeling sort of sad tonight… it is or was my Dad’s birthday.. and Christmas eve has always been a bit different since Dad left this world. But, as you and Deb so beautifully quoted the “Dance of Life” continues and it is only because of the never ending grace of our Lord Jesus that my dance has continued with so much joy. Wishing your family all the joy of the season ! Thank you for your message this evening.

Nice pictures and thoughts about Christmas in times past. Thanks!
At lunch today Paul was recalling going to the annual Sunday School program at church in a sleigh pulled by a team of horses. He also mentioned that the bag of goodies they got at church was twice the size of the one they got at school!
Ian & Erin are here with us now ( for a week); Nolan and family are due to arrive in time for supper today. Everett & Marie were here 20 – 22 so they did see Ian & Erin briefly. Ev & Marie are on their way to Houston TX to spend Christmas with her mom and step- dad. We had a turkey time with the grandmas on Tuesday when Ev & Marie were still here, and are having another one with Grandmas on Christmas day when the 2 grandkids are here as well.
Ida Marie & James were also here on the 22nd and were planning to drive to C’port today. ( Benjamin is a real littel cutie!) We are hoping the weather descriptions are not as serious as predicted for all the travellers with little ones.
It is now a white Christmas here – received a couple of inches over the last few days. Beautiful!
Hi to everyone who is together in your family groups! we will raise a glass and think of you too!
Love Beth
