Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. - By Clement C. Moore I love this book!
When our children were young we read it hundreds if not thousands of times during Christmas. Now we read it to our grandkids with the same enthusiasm!
We also loved the 12 Days of Christmas song and often came up with our own verses! I hope you too have special memories to reflect on. According to Google, The Twelve Days of Christmas was a song written during the Puritan Movement in England, when, during the years 1558-1829, Catholics were not allowed to practice their faith. The song actually has two meanings, the literal and the subtle translation that only the Catholics knew. I also learned that the Twelve Days of Christmas began on December 25th and ends January 5th.
I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Treat yourself on the 7th day of Christmas. Maybe it's time for new glasses. Contact Kathy for an eye frame consultation or do her virtual eye frame consult.

Love one another, the 12th day of Christmas. Let your loved one know how important he/she is to you, and no matter what, make every day count! Be intentional with the time you spend together and develop a good relationship.
Yours in style, Kathy Sazama
