Delightful Days and Cozy Winter Moments with Grandchildren

By Lorraine

While Mommy was in the hospital, Mom-Mom spent every moment playing with these two little cherubs…
running the village trains …

watching snowflakes dance and twirl above the bed…

dreaming of dancing sugarplums….

enjoying the warmth of the fireplace…

chillin’ while watching a Christmas show…

and sipping hot chocolate by the fireplace each night before bed.

He’s Back. The Christmas Elf and all his Cousins

By Lorraine

Each December 1st, we are entertained by the arrival of a whimsical little fellow dressed in red. He is a most pleasant house guest whose only request is that no one try to touch him. See that mischievous expression on his face… he is waiting for a little one to discover his hiding place. He finds great joy in the excited squeals of a child, pointing and shouting,
“There he is… I found the elf!”

Christmas Carol

By Lorraine

As you may have guessed, the name for this blog comes from one of my favorite Christmas movies, Muppet's Christmas Carol. The story of a changed heart and a second chance echo's the message of hope we can have through Christ. I love Michael Caine's portrayal of Scrooge.
