Hi Friends, it's Christmas Day! The Christmas Story means something different for everyone, but for my family and I, it means the birth of a baby who was destined to save humanity from the sins of the world and to offer everlasting peace and love.

Happy Christmas Eve!
Hello Friends and Happy Christmas Eve! I hope you're enjoying time with family and friends. For the past 30+ years, on Christmas Eve, I prepare a Lasagna with Garlic Butter Breadsticks and we eat, eat, eat! For dessert, it's always a homemade Cheesecake while watching Christmas movies - specifically A Christmas Story.
After our meal and movie, we open gifts and then take a drive around town, looking at Christmas Lights. Tomorrow we will travel to my younger brothers' house and spend the day with his family. I hope you are blessed with good food, family and friends!
Just a quick share today featuring snippets of patterned paper and a Quilt Square Pattern. I like using snippets to create Quilt Cards and I find lots of interesting patterns for them on Pinterest.
