A CHRISTMAS QUOTE FOR THE
WEEK:
This is from the introduction in one of my
many copies of Dickens' "A Christmas Carol". It's my all-time favorite book and I read it every year.
"The story begins one cold, bleak, biting
Christmas Eve, when the fog is so thick and the dampness so complete that
wheezing is the only way to breathe, when the clock in the frozen tower strikes
the hours as if its teeth are chattering when the afternoon is as dark as the
evening, and the evening so dark that even familiar courtyards require groping
to find one's way."
(Patricia Barrett Perkins, Baltimore, Maryland, 1987)
A HOLIDAY CRAFT IDEA FOR THE
WEEK:
A quick candle gift -- Take a plain
white pillar candle and hot glue cinnamon sticks all around the bottom.
Tie with a red ribbon and add a sprig of holly.
