As of Dec. 12, just thirteen more days to Christmas. I can remember running out the front door of the house looking around in the light snow for reindeer tracks on Christmas morning back when I was six or seven years old and living at Dover. We always had a cedar tree that Billy and myself found in the woods and put up for Christmas with bulbs and icicles. We only had one set of lights and that was in the 50s. They were bubble lights and I loved them and would decorate that tree five or six different times before Christmas morning. When we were little kids, we always got one piece of clothes and a toy and oranges and candy and a book or jig saw puzzle. We always were going to see other people’s lights, a movie or ice cream cone on Christmas Eve and visiting family and lots of good special food. My Dad was handy with his hands and made a doll buggy for me and built a pretty car and a big bob sled that we had for many years. It would hold two or more people and go very fast down the hill where we lived. It was difficult to bring back up the hill, as it wasn’t a little light bobsled.

Keep our pastor Brother Jessie still in your prayers. He is still not feeling too good yet. We had church though as usual. Everything seems calm around here this week.
