I want to wish all of you out there, a very blessed and merry Christmas. I’m so fortunate to be a part of this blog group and share with my writing sisters and readers some of the things going on in my life.

I’ve written this post early because our granddaughter Rainy is once again seriously ill and in the hospital. We may well be heading to Kansas City for Christmas in Children’s Mercy Hospital. At this point, I thought it might be best to get my blog done early.

Children are such a precious part of Christmas. Our neighbor’s across the street are so cool. The father works in construction so during some down time he put in an ice skating rink in their yard. I thought it was so neat that this father of 3 little girls and a baby boy on the way, would take his time to build his kids an ice rink. Here’s a shot of one of the kids out there skating. How cool is that.

Another neat part of our Christmas is the snow and mountains. I’m so blessed to live here in Montana. I do enjoy the winters – mainly because I can stay inside and write and watch it snow. 🙂 Here’s a shot from my front yard.

Last but not least – we have enjoyed a beautiful scotch pine Christmas tree and holiday village display. I actually let my 20 year old son set up the village and each day he seems to add something new. You’ll note in the picture on the left – Batman is visiting the village. In the picture on the right – the church is being attacked by a dragon and a black panther. It’s always exciting at our house.

I hope you are having a wonderful holiday with those you love spending time near to you. God Bless You!
