This year I just could not get into the Christmas Spirit. We had a WONDERFUL week-end of church activities with things I really do believe in. BUT..when it came to decorating the house my heart just wasn't in it.
Today, however, I began slow and finally drug the lights and the tree out. We have a snowman made from a part of a landscape timber a friend made us when we lived at the lake. I LOVE Mr. Snowman and he is now on our front porch. The friend that made him died several years ago.
I did drape some lights on the front bushes and some on the Pergola in back. We have yet to see those at night.
Then Ted was working a crossword puzzle and I heard him talking to himself about Gold, Frankensense and Myrth. I looked at him and told him that wasn't right. We got into a "conversation" and he kept saying Myrth. I finally said I would look the spelling up in the Bible. So here we were, sitting in the front room with the Bible and I'm looking for the Christmas Story. By the time I found it and had the correct spelling he had his trusty dictionary and had beat me to it. We both know now that it is MYRRH. Neither one of us knew how to actually spell this but I bet we don't forget it for awhile.
So we've decorated and read the Christmas story and I'm actually getting in the Christmas spirit.
