Christmas Time is Here Again …

Christmas Time is Here Again …

December 5, 2018 by Liz Gardner

Christmas is once again upon us as we prepare to celebrate this special season of the year. Here are a few of the most popular articles written over the years including many ideas for spending time with family and friends. Plus great ideas for making eco-friendly gifts and sharing with those far away. A short article at a busy time of year. Enjoy …

#3 – 12 Long Distance Gifts

This article is (almost) timeless … Ideas to share with those who are not able to be with you during the holiday season.

“Christmas is doing a little something extra for someone.”
~ Charles M. Schulz

… and this article would not be complete without the recipe for Mum’s (no bake) Chocolate Rum Balls – a continuing legacy for our family and a happy memory of a childhood special treat … and our Mum.

In closing, in these sometimes, often turbulent times remember to take time from the busy hustle bustle of the season and spend time with those who mean the most to you.

This is a great time for me to thank the many people, known and unknown, who offer their support and encouragement throughout the year. Thank you always to family and friends who mean the world to me, with their love, caring and friendship. With kind thoughts, joy and warmth. ~ Liz

Best wishes and joy
during the Christmas Season

& a most Happy & Healthy 2019.
