- My 2024 Christmas tree!
A few holiday vignettes are displayed throughout my home.
I participated in a fun Christmas wreath-making class, and my wreath is now hanging on my front door.
The Grinch and Santa Claus made a surprise appearance on horseback in my neighborhood!
Santa Claus returned a week later for photos at a community holiday party. The event featured music, hot chocolate, cookies, crafts, games, and a horse-drawn sleigh ride!
Our grandchildren kept us busy with fun holiday events--an elementary choir performance, a Middle School Seussical Jr. Musical performance, a basketball game, and a high school "Holiday Collage" program with choir, band, and orchestra entertaining us with beautiful music for over two hours!
Remembering the true "Reason for the Season" is the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus.
Alleluia!
I'm going to take a break from blogging for a while. I'm not sure when I'll be back because my husband is going to be scheduled for surgery soon, and I want to focus on caring for him completely.
Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers!
Wishing all my blog readers a Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy 2025!

What beautiful holiday decor you have! And it looks like you're really enjoying the season! Prayers for your husband's surgery.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, Pat. Praying right now for dear hubbies surgery coming up.
This looks amazing! That's so funny that Santa and the Grinch came by on horseback. I wish people would do something like that where we live. Hope things go well for your husband's surgery!
Very festive....Michelle

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Oh Pat, so very much enchantment. Love the riding Santa and Grinch and how lovely to spend time with your grands doing fun Christmas activities! Your tree and vignettes are so full of joyful seasonal cheer! You are far ahead of me and I love seeing it! Sending all good wishes for your husband's surgery and post-care. Please keep us posted, even if it's just a brief note, and of course you will be included in prayers. Don't forget to take care of you, too. Caregiving is hard work. Meanwhile, merriest of Christmases to you!
Wonderful decorations.
Best wishes for your hubby's surgery. You take care.
You sure know how to decorate for Christmas. Your house looks beautiful. So sorry to hear of Vince's op. Sending best wishes for a quick recovery. Merry Christmas to you both.
First: Best wishes and prays for your husband!
It's Thursday, the afternoon to write my comments. Gray daylight, it's not very inviting to go outside. And I'm happy about another wonderful contribution to MosaicMonday.
Thank you so much for your participation, dear blog friend ... interesting to read!

Your husband is in my prayers. I'm praying you both to have a blessed Christmas and that his surgery goes well. Take care of yourself!
Nobody does Christmas like you do!! Your tree is spectacular!
Have a Merry Christmas.
I never saw the Grinch on horseback before. Two hour choral event. Sending thoughts and prayers for your husband's surgery. I will miss you on the blog but understand you need to be a caretaker for awhile. Been there. Done that. Advice: Remember to take care of yourself too.
May your Holidays be merry and bright.
