Thank you so much for your blog, I look forward to it everyday. This year my husband had an auto accident in early December, so Christmas was very simple and to the point. We are so thankful he is alive. God has blessed us with life and that in itself was gift enough. Congrats on the Kindle. I think I would like one, however I too love the scent of books. Please give us an update on your likes/dislikes of your Kindle. A belated Merry Christmas to you. Thank you so much for your blog, I look forward to it everyday.

This Christmas, as the last two or three, have been pretty lean for our family too. I had been going through December thinking about what to get the kids, and the rest of the family; with co-workers talking about dropping over $500 over the weekend. Kind of makes you a little blue. But for me the emphasis has been on Christ this Christmas and all the wonderful blessing we have been given and continue to get. The kids got three small gifts each and they were right on target!! As long as we remeber that Jesus is the reason for the season, I have all the gifts I need!!! Thank you for all that you do to keep us informed and entertained! As my priest said on Christmas Eve, it is wonderful to be able to go around giving blessing to each other when we say "Merry Chrsitmas!" So Merry Christmas to you and yours!!

This Christmas was not about "stuff". It was about the Savior, about family, and about spending quality time together. I think it is one of the best Christmases I've had in a while.

The weather was lovely, wasn't it? I think your grandkids will love the book! There's three in the series, though I think one is out of print at the moment. We'll be ordering the one that's in print for next year. And hopefully the third one will be back in print by the following year. I’m glad you had a great Christmas!

And - thanks for the advent book mention.... I looked it up and will be ordering a couple copies for the grandkids' families... It seems like it would be a perfect EARLY Christmas gift next year!
