Reminds me of gathering fresh cedar branches to decorate our wreath when the children were younger. Traditions are good...<br />Blessings,<br />AnneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089316062583477747.post-38075510668124356122010-12-05T19:07:53.780+01:002010-12-05T19:07:53.780+01:00It's always nice to know that the traditions w...It's always nice to know that the traditions we do really mean something to our children.

I thought of your family, Floss, this morning - in Church we were reflecting on those we love who will not be sharing Christmas with us this year, and I am sure there will be mixed emotions in your home over the coming days. Each year as we carry on family traditions, there is a sense of continuity, and happy family memories will bring joy. God bless you in those bittersweet moments xAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089316062583477747.post-75303094266588815292010-12-05T15:39:26.681+01:002010-12-05T15:39:26.681+01:00What a lovely Advent wreath and so special! And I ...What a lovely Advent wreath and so special! And I LOVE that candle! Perfect for Advent. I have to confess, I'm moving slower offline this month, as I'm mostly at my grandkids' house. Decorations are out but not up. They are coming over later this week to help me decorate though so that is good! <br /><br />And there's still plenty of Advent preparation going on in our hearts with Advent stories during reading activities for grandparents and grandchildren when I'm at their house, prayers and plenty of Christmas praise and worship music! <br /><br />I so agree with you - the traditions are a vital part of the Advent and Christmas season, adding an important richness full of your family memories! Another fun thing I strive to share with the grandkids. :)<br /><br />By the by, I also have a holiday giveaway going on at SandwichINK.com as part of a caregiving Holiday Progressive party there and you are all invited for that as well as A Pause in Advent! :) <br /><br />Thanks for another delightful week of Advent memories, ideas, and encouragement!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07853668220114748234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089316062583477747.post-72233236817648810002010-12-05T14:57:45.855+01:002010-12-05T14:57:45.855+01:00I was telling a friend about your advent candle an...I was telling a friend about your advent candle and she made one and loves it as do I.<br />one of my favorite traditions of Christmas is watching the advent candles go down week after week and we finaly light the pink one especialy as a little girl!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04009418311664981767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089316062583477747.post-84366029414858183382010-12-05T13:07:27.678+01:002010-12-05T13:07:27.678+01:00Christmas wouldn't be the same without Family ...Christmas wouldn't be the same without Family Traditions to enhance our time together.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16778709902157945708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089316062583477747.post-61648812141458598522010-12-05T12:19:19.522+01:002010-12-05T12:19:19.522+01:00Hello Floss, I'm delighted to join in with you...Hello Floss, I'm delighted to join in with your "Pause in Advent" this week. Such a precious idea...thank you!! I've been wondering how you're doing after the loss of your dear Mum. I imagine that perhaps the familiar rhythms & rituals might be quite comforting at such a time. Much love to you & your family.
