Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!!
I pray you have a great holiday, and may the Lords bless you richly this coming year with blessings you couldn't even imagine.

And in keeping with my previous posts,
Book- I am reading "The Secret Band" by Edith Lavell. It takes place during Christmas. Printed in 1935 it is a very sweet and good book. I read it every year at Christmastime.

Crafts- I used the stitch from this pattern to make a cowl for my Grandfather for Christmas

Cooking- I might make some chocolate chip cookies tonight for Christmas Eve. We always have tamales for Christmas Eve supper, so Mama made the chili and we will make rice and the heat the tamales too.

And Such- as is my usual custom I will post a Monkee's song. It is a Christmas song, and I will post their Christmas episode too!

The song they sing at the end, "Riu, Riu Chiu" is one of our favorite Christmas songs, and my mother first heard this song on The Monkees Christmas episode. This is a great version of it too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRZWiWKfoQw

Merry Christmas!!!
Vaya Con Dios!
