image ~ kriphotography.typepad.comMerry Christmas to my dear friends!
I'm going to take some days off and enjoy the holidays! :)
I need to flop on the couch and look at the lights on the tree!
I need to give my men back rubs and kisses!
I need to eat more Christmas cookies!
I need to watch Alistair Sim in A Christmas Carol!
And I haven't wrapped a single gift yet!
Hope you all enjoy your holiday!
♥
Don't forget that Christ is the reason for celebrating Christmas!
Without his gift of eternal life, life really isn't worth living at all!
♥♥♥
"My dear children, I am very anxious that you should know
something about the history of Jesus Christ.
For everybody ought to know about him."
Charles Dickens

I'll see you all in 2011 for a fresh new year!
Sounds like more than your five men need a backrub! Hope you all have a blessed holiday.
ReplyDeleteAnd like my sister says...
ReplyDelete"He's the reason
For the season!"
You are SO perceptive! Merry Christmas, Silver. xo
ReplyDeleteOooh...your sis is perceptive, too! :)
ReplyDeleteBack at you, milady!
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas to you too!
ReplyDeleteBetsy:
ReplyDeleteI've so enjoyed our time visiting back and forth this past year, and look forward to more of the same next year.
I'm wishing you and yours all the blessings of a wonderful Christmas !
Hugs,

smiles. merry christmas to you and your fam!
ReplyDeleteI love your quote at the end. Doesn't one, or more, of your triplets have part of A Christmas Carol memorized? Seems like I remember something about that.
ReplyDeleteHave a very Merry Christmas with all your men!
Kayren ~ haha...well, they play the opening music and the one phrase "Old Marley was as dead as a doornail" over and over and over. Oh dear! I actually had to hide the DVD because they were blasting me out of bed with it every morning in the middle of July! ha. What a way to wake up!I'll bring it out of hiding over the weekend...and hide the remote while we watch.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Betsy, full of spirit and togetherness!
ReplyDeleteXo Leah
Every good wish, Betsy, from me and mine to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy that couch, the lights and let all five men give you a back rub..Or is that not a good idea. HaHa
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Christmas and I look forward to a new journey with you in 2011.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder about the real reason for the Holiday. In all of the hustle and bustle it is so easy to forget.

ReplyDeleteBetsy, have the most wonderful Christmas with your five men!! I have just discovered the complete works of Dickens in a box in my shed! So thrilled! Love that quote from him. Have a very special time, bloggy friend! ♥a
ReplyDeleteAlaine ~ the complete works? oh, my...what a find! That is so very exciting. You need to do a post about that so we can all enjoy it with you! Happy Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy you are my bloggy friend too, Betsy. Some time since we don't live that far from each other, I'm gonna come visit you and those cute boys of yours!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the time to stop by my blog this evening! Haven't we had fun lately!?!

Merry Christmas Betsy!
ReplyDeleteWe will honk as we drive by!
You deserve a week off or two so do eat cookies and enjoy the five guys at home. They all go back to school or work in another week and you can really catch your breath. Merry Christmas to you and may you have a blessed New Year.
ReplyDeleteBetsy it's always a pleasure to come visit your place...thank you!
ReplyDeleteI would also like to wish you, your 5 men & your extended family a wonderful, wonderful Christmas. Looking forward to the New Year & all it has to offer!
Warm Wishes your Australian blogger friend Katherine xx
Maybe you might get yourself a nice backrub or footrub whilst you're lounging back in the couch watching the Christmas tree lights! Sound like a good idea????
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year dear Betsy and I feel the same,
ReplyDeletemuch love
Zuzana
You deserve a break. Merry Christmas to you Betsy and all your family. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Betsy, to you, and your five men.
ReplyDeleteIt is great that you take a rest now and then.
You are a very hard worker from what we can see,
Taking care of those special three.
Snow flakes falling, turning everything white,
Feeding the birds, baking cookies at night.
Scrumptious recipes you willingly share,
Showing your faithful readers how much you care.
Writing about your everyday events,
And your five men who are quite the gents.
When life comes after you, easy or not,
You seem to give your all, you give quite a lot.
So while relaxing with your feet on the table,
Enjoying a show that is on cable.
We will be thinking of the reason,
That Jesus is the true blessing of this season.
Merry Christmas and God bless.
And a Merry Christmas to you from me and thanks for following my blog :)
ReplyDeleteI've probably said it before but I'll say it again. You're great.
ReplyDeleteAlan ~ you always say the BEST things. :)
ReplyDeleteMrs. Upole ~ oh my gosh! You are amazing. xo

ReplyDeleteBetsy Merry Christmas to you too! I enjoy following your blog and am glad we have had some time to get to know each other. Enjoy your time away, savor the moments and blog with you soon!

ReplyDeleteA good quote dear Betsy.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the white christmas, back rubs and kisses from your men. You are loved and so you should be as you are a dear tender hearted person and blogger to so so many of us out here.
Now, I have to say that one thing totally surprises me -- you hadn't wrapped presents yet. Whoa. Doesn't sound like you.
Anyway, wishing you a Happy Boxing Day, this 2nd Day of Christmas. :)
Mmm ~ I know! Would you believe I wrapped everything the night of the 23rd? haha..but it all got done in time. Needless to say, wrapping is my least favorite christmas activity and I procrastinate on it without fail.
ReplyDeleteHappy Boxing Day to you!
Merry Christmas Betsy and blessings to your precious family! I lurve to visit with you. Have a wonderful week making memories.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Janeen
