Recipe for A Merry Christmas

Take the crisp cold of a December night, add two generous parts of snow, stir in air so clear it twinkles.

Christmas snow

Into a generous heart, mix the wonder of a little girl, the sparkle of a young boy’s glance, the love of parents, and set gently before the chimney side.

Christmas elves

Add the lightest touch of a reindeer’s hooves, a sprig of holly, a scent of fir.

Christmas reindeer and ice skater

Set the mixture to rise in the warmth of a dream of good will to men.

Christmas kitten

It will be almost ready to serve when it bubbles with warmth and good feeling.

Christmas tree, stockings in front of a fireplace.

Bedeck with the light of a star set in the East, garnish with shining balls of gold, silver and red.

Home decorated for Christmas with the magic glowing tree, fireplace, gifts in dark at night
900

Serve to the tune of an ancient carol in the middle of the family table. This recipe is sufficient for all the men and women you will ever meet.

Christmas at home with children.

Merry Christmas!

I just love your almanacs calendars with moon’s and fishing days even thou I don’t much of any
because of age, it reminds me my young days of
planting my garden the crops had to be planted
on the right moon or did not no crop , same went
Pretty much for fishing it seems the moon had
Some kind effects on the fish they would nibble
at the bait instead of a good hard bites.
Now no seems know or talk about these occurring any more. The generation were taught
because with new technology of fish finder and
GPS to guide them to location they no need.
