“And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!””
Luke 2:12-14
Winter has arrived! And now the days start getting longer!
We think Santa’s candy may have been of greater interest than he was, at least for the moment !
The magic of Noccalula Falls park at Christmas!
Small details make a Christmas setting very special.
Ella Mae is admiring her own creation. Best gingerbread house ever! (If you ask grandparents).
Snuggles has been a part of our family for over 30 years!
Fruitcake and cappuccino…bliss !
A few of our many special ornaments collected over the years!

Merry Christmas from our family to yours in Alabama! Pam, you have been a sweet and joyful blessing for me this year. I value your hard work and friendship. Blessings.
Thank you so much Roxanne and Merry Christmas my friend❤️
Your grass is still green! Haven’t seen that for three months. Now let me say at least there is no mowing here. Just shoveling. How exciting to have Miss Ella Mae with you during this glorious season to bake a gingerbread house with and to see the wonder on her face as she experiences all that CHRISTMAS means. These are memory making times for all of you. I look forward to your posts to experience Miss Ella Mae’s joy too. God bless and protect you and your family throughout Christmas and the coming NewYear.
Hi Alice, the grass is winter rye and Butch plants it and then has to mow it. I try to get him not to plant it. Ella Mae is coming this afternoon for,the whole family to bake gingerbread boys and girls! God bless you and your family and wishing you a Merry Christmas!
Such a lovely post this morning, full of the beauty of Christmas. All the photos are beautiful, but my favorite is Ella Mae on Santa’s lap. It one for a pretty frame or your book.
I love spending a little time with you on Sunday, your blog always provides joy and makes me smile. I thank you for that. Pam, you and your work are a blessing in our world.
Sending you and your beautiful family love and wishes for a Merry, Merry Christmas! ❤❤
Sandra thank you for your sweet friendship and always encouraging comments! Sending wishes for you and yours the most wonderful Christmas!
Merry Merry Christmas Pam, and your whole family! Thank you for your friendship and always such nice comments! Your park at Christmas time is truly breathtaking!

Thank you Jenna ❤️
Hello, Pam. The photos all look great! Nothing like the wonder of a child, is there?
The helper at WordPress wants to know what happens when you can’t comment on my blog, do you get an error message?

Merry Christmas Pam to all of you! What a special post of Christmas past, present and tradition. The sweet Ella Mae pics are so uplifting as her innocence and excitement of experiencing new things just shines through! Her gingerbread house is quite an accomplishment! Grandmas and Grandpas are special as they make memories that are never forgotten! You & Butch do that for Ella Mae & the love shows in your pictures. Your ornament collection is gorgeous, especially the American heart! Snuggles with his overalls has the perfect name and is just begging for a hug. The park is spectacular with all the lights and the train for the children. You have once again given us another wonderful Sunday treat. God bless you all! Clara ❤️
Clara, thank you sweet friend for your encouraging comments. Wishing you the most wonderful celebration of the birth of our Lord and Savior and a healthy new year!
Such beautiful encouragement this Lord’s Day! I always leave your dear blog refreshed in spirit! God bless you and yours this Christmas!
Thank you Cheryl and God’s blessings for you and yours!
Ella Mae’s joy seeing Santa is priceless! I so enjoy all your captures as they are all Christmas Card ready. But Ella Mae and the Ornaments collage are my favorites!
Merry Christmas Pam to you and yours!
Merry Christmas Nancy and thank you for your friendship!❤️
Wonderful Christmas vignettes!How Precious!Merry CHRIST-MAS!!!
Thank you dear Maristella and Merry Christmas to you and yours❤️
Merry Christmas!! Dear friends.
I really enjoyed the beautiful photos. Christmas is here, my daughter Leticia and her children arrive in Granada tonight to celebrate Christmas Eve along with my other daughter who lives in Madrid. We gathered the whole family, 5 adults and four children, my dear grandchildren.
A delight of the images that send me that have seemed endearing to me as the chair of Butch, Ella Mae in the arms of Santa, the bear … those small / great things that give us happiness for their tenderness.
I have some nice photos to send. I will try, with so much child, to leave me a quiet moment and send them.
A big hug on such a special night
Dolores
Feliz Navidad Dolores y para todos FB tu preciosa familia! Disfruta de cada recuerdo que harás y el tiempo que pases con cada nieto. Espero que me puedas enviar fotos. ¡Que la paz de Cristo viva abundantemente en ti, mi hermoso amigo! ❤️
Merry Christmas, sweet friend! Enjoy your week!!!
Merry Christmas to you and your precious family, dear friend!
As many have said, you are a blessing to us. Hold these sentiments close to your heart as I know how much time and thought goes into your beautiful blog. Loved seeing Ella Mae with Santa and a great gingerbread house. All so lovely and meaningful. Thank you dear friend.
Thank you Dianne and Happy New Year blessings!
Well, as you can tell, I’ve been offline a few days. But oh, this post was SO worth coming back to (and I’ll be back for all!). Every photos is a gem but the one of Ella Mae and Santa is one of the best Santa photos I’ve ever seen. It’s absolutely glorious. It’s like something out of Victoria or the most beautiful holiday book you’ve ever seen. (I’d submit that this spring for next year… mom and dad permitting!). I hope your holiday was absolutely perfect but I have a feeling with your little angel at hand and all that beauty and memories, it was.
Thank you Jeanie, you are always so encouraging. I have been taking a little break, and it has been so nice! Our son took the Santa photo and I thought it looked like a Victoria also.
