'White Christmas' Blessings


Good Morning, or whatever is the best greeting to you, in your part of the world!

Woke up to a blanket of MORE MORE MORE snow this am! We have closer to 3 feet of snowy winter wonderland now! The snow is coming down fast and furious; 'blizzard' like, and the forecast is like this for the next few tid days. It will, indeed, be a 'White Christmas!' Am going to see if our almost full to capacity digital camera can take on another photo or two; and then when my son comes over tomorrow for Christmas Dinner, I will seek his assistance to load all the photos on to our computer. Then I can post some 'real' pictures! I appreciate the photo images; and once again, I thank my good friend, Cathy, for having given me the tidbit on how to access photo images to the posts.

Alan was out earlier on a walk with our 4 year young 'pup', Blue; our Australian Blue Heeler. He also has a tid touch of Australian sheep dog in him; and he looks very much like the dogs in the ads on T.V. We think he is better looking; but then, we have a bit of a leaning towards him! LOL! He wears a blue bandana, which matches his blue eyes; however, during the Christmas Season, he will be wearing a red scarf! He LOVES the snow; happily frolicking about here, there, and everywhere; and it is refreshing and fun to watch his athleticism and amusing antics! The above picture is of Blue, taken 2 years ago at our Christmas Party. Thanks again, Trish, for taking the photo!

My cup of coffee is definitely hitting the spot this morning; a grateful thank you to Alan for making it and bringing it to me. As mentioned in earlier bittid posts, we enjoy a wonderful view from our bedroom bay window; and it is a Blessing to see how beautiful all the trees etc look, when they are covered with snow.

Alan has just returned from going out to do the remaining bittidz; as we sense the snow will not be letting up anytime soon; as per the major weather forecast. There is a severe 'snow warning' / 'road advisory'; so best to drive now, rather than later in the day. Glad we do not have to drive anywhere far, within the next few days!

We are 'set' for whomever wishes to pop by or drop in for a tidbitz of good Christmas cheer over the Season! We are doing our Christmas Dinner tomorrow night; and it will be an extra 'special' occasion! We have my son coming over for turkey and all the tidbit trimmings; whereas, my daughter and her husband are hosting their Christmas Dinner tonight for his family (16?). We will be going to my daughter's for 'Christmas' dinner on the 28th; easier for us all to go to them; primarily because of the ages of the twins. My daughter's in-laws are preparing the main course in their own home; and then taking the food over for tonight's gathering. We have offered to do a bittid 'potluck' as well, for the 28th; and 'keeping things simple' works best!

Tidbit - Appreciate your pets too. Treat them well, and they generously reward you in kind!

Bittid - Can appreciate during these tough and challenging moments, it may be a bittidz more difficult to genuinely enjoy the 'Spirit of Christmas'. However, there are always those who are far less fortunate! If you choose to be upbeat and positive, you will be a 'happier' person; not only to yourself, but to all others around you. Lest we forget, as Christ says, 'To give is better than to receive'. He GAVE us Everlasting Life (He dearly paid the price); and we are genuinely Thankful for His Gift and for all of our Blessings. Hope this is of encouragement to all those who read my posts. Yesterday's post summed up a bit of tidbitz.

Once again, Merry Christmas!

God Bless you ALL!
