The Christmas Village

December 13, 2020

Many of us have our own Christmas traditions. One of my favorites is The Christmas Village.

When my grandchildren were young, they helped me display the pieces on a snow-covered mat. And pretended they were the actual children in the scene.

Their age-related cousins joined us, and they, too, became the children in the village.

They shopped for toys,

purchased candy,

and attended church to hear the message of Christ’s birth.

Whatever your tradition, let us rejoice about the real reason we celebrate Christmas–the birth of Jesus.

P.S. Don’t forget to sing Silent Night.

Merry Christmas!

Sparkle Christmas Cards

December 2, 2020

Here is a fun, attractive way to dress-up your Christmas cards using glitter glue.

I purchased inexpensive Christmas cards from the Dollar Tree (fourteen per box.) Since I mail and deliver many cards, cost is important to me. The cards were attractive enough, but I thought some sparkle might make them appear even more seasonal.

Just a couple of items are needed to prep your cards.

Paper plate, glitter glue, and a box of cards.

                

Below is a close-up of the finished piece.

 

This is an easy craft idea for children or anyone who is sheltering in place with extra time on their hands. It’s easy and sure to brighten the recipient’s day.

I will mail and deliver cards. The ones I deliver will be on top of a box of chocolates or cookies.

Merry Christmas!
