Merry 7th Day of Christmas

Merry 7th Day of Christmas

Merry 7th Day of Christmas   We are already a week into this Christmas season and time does not seem to slow down one bit.

Merry 3rd Day of Christmas

Merry 3rd Day of Christmas

Merry 3rd Day of Christmas!  When I look at the different Nativity sets I have I think about the Blessed Mother with Joseph as they welcomed the baby Jesus into this world. I think of Mary as she held her new baby knowing he was a precious gift from God given to save all of us. Amazing!  The Blessed Mother had an inspiring faith in receiving the gift of Baby Jesus!
