Near Florence. Pee Dee. Not my fav. part of the state, lol!

Thank you. This year has been a real lesson in what peace really means, and how to maintain it. With Dad's Alz and passing, sister with advanced Parkinson's who can't speak now, and then her son had a stroke and now cannot speak. You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you...

THANKS, Evelyn. Mom is in Indiana, me in SC. She really isn't strong enough to handle company, so we are face-timing.

What a great word for this month!!

YW! And thanks for the wishes. Mom is 1000miles away, so that isn't in the picture. We all sense that her days are short- but 91 years is a long life! But thankfully we spent time at Dad's celebration of life service day. We've shared our thoughts and I know she will be joining Dad and dancing...

YES! I have the grands almost done, They are getting "Make" boxes. Well, at least the 2 younger ones are. They both are artistic. So the boxes will be filled with art supplies. Since we are doing Ancestry/Heritage albums for DS &DD, the theme will be Medieval - knights, dragons, castles. FUN...

So glad to hear this from you. I will follow your lead. Joy to the World is the theme,after all?! Joy isn't the same as happiness. Joy can bring tears, but always comfort. :heartpumpred: :hug1:

The account of Mary visiting her cousin Elizabeth (also expecting) and the child lept in her womb at the nearness of the unborn Christ!

Definitely O Holy Night. Can't hear it or sing it without getting choked up. I've been in SC for many years. I'm over it. I can't wait to return to the feet of snow every winter up in N. Ohio!!! :pleasantry:

Ooooo!!! That one reminds me of my childhood in Mansfield Ohio- where the church bells rang around the city on Christmas Day and the city put up the vintage bells on light poles!!! And YES, they were SILVER! O Holy Night for me too.

I'd like to thank the designers for their beautiful work on this collab, and the "O-staff" for the time put into this event. I know from my time in design what it takes. It is appreciated. :claphands: I would like to say I could do the challenges this time, but the day before Thanksgiving my Mom...

Thank you!

Curious...:) #1 please
