Thanks for the Christmas greetings dear Claudia – enjoy each moment as you celebrate the true meaning of Christmas together in your cottage. We’re doing the same here this morning after a truly successful party last evening – how many jolly revelers can you squeeze in a small cottage? 22 just made it without having to send them upstairs or out in the potting shed, haha!
Love, Mary
Claudia says

Right back atcha, Claudia – and of course Don and Scout as well. Hope you’re enjoying a quiet and relaxing day, with whatever nummies and treats you like. Hope you get to see the moon tonight too – it was absolutely breathtaking last night, over the Lake. Made me think “it must have looked a little like this in Bethlehem…” ?
Claudia says
Merry Christmas, Janet!

Keep warm and cozy! I loved reading the Queen of England’s Christmas message this morning, reminding us of this: “The Gospel of John contains a verse of great hope…’The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it’.”
