Merry Christmas dear Blog friends
My Christmas trees are decorated.
I did not do as much this year but my favorite decorations are out.
Somehow they seems extra special to me this year. When I was so sick with sepsis and organ failure earlier in the year, I wasn’t sure that I would be here to enjoy this wonderful season this year. I also think living with a blood clot in my chest makes me appreciate each day more than I did before. Each day is precious… especially during this season.
We have attended some wonderful Christmas programs this December.
EJ’s Jazz Band put on a great community Christmas concert. Claire was invited to be their guest soloist. We were so proud of both of them.
Today Claire sang like an angel at church. I can’t seem to post a video on here but I did on Facebook if you want to hear her.
Mindy played her flute and Ernie lead the music. My heart was filled with happiness as I listened to my loved ones praising God with their beautiful music. They are so talented…. and they don’t get it from me.
I’ve heard beautiful choirs and madrigals sing….
….And a pipe band play at the Upland Nativity and Arts festival put on annually by our church for the community.
I’ve attended this Nativity festival with my friends Randy and Mary…
…I was totally awed by the beautiful displays…
…and the effort of love it is for our church to put this festival each year.
The joy of Christmas fills my heart. I’m so thankful that I am well and can enjoy every minute of this wonderful season. I hope that you are enjoying it too.
I have lots more to post but will save it until next time.
Merry Christmas my friends.
Hugs, Lura

When one is healthy one can take so many things for granted. This is why this time of year can be so precious as we value all we have. The love shows here. Merry Christmas!
Lura, add my name to the list of people who are grateful that you are still here to celebrate this holy Season of the Saviours Birth! I so love seeing the photos of your family and how they are doing and all of their talents that they share so generously with everyone. You may not think you can sing or have any talents but you have many talents. One is your humility and ability to share the Saviours love with all. I can attest to your kind and loving heart personally.You are a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and friend and I Love you to pieces. xxoo
So many wonderful Christmas Season Smiles! We've had a Christmas filled with family . . . some sickness, but mostly good. Probably my very favorite part of December was visiting with my Dear Son 1 and Daughter in law and their 4 month old son who they hope to adopt this coming spring! They live in the Bay area and one evening took us to the Nativity Festival sponsored by the stake in Modesto, CA. I've heard of the large nativity festivals such as you show here before, and we had a much smaller one in our branch in New Jersey years ago, but the one in Modesto was wonderful! So many many beautiful and cherished nativities were shared, and the music there was wonderful too. I'm glad you had a great December. I hate to see Christmas be over too!
I am completely agree with you, I am an amazing fan of your site, genuine guard post Keep making such stunning post,
