A Sunshine Cottage Christmas

~ Christmas, Holidays, Sunshine Cottage

Merry Monday, sweet friends. Christmas 2022 is almost here!

“She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭1‬:‭21‬ ‭

Welcome to a Sunshine Cottage Christmas! Rain and dark clouds have prevented me from taking photos and sharing the cottage. Finally, on Thursday, we had a day of sunshine!

The small Goebel nativity was a gift from my Mother many years ago. It usually stays in my bookcase during Christmas. But, I decided to place it in the Sunshine Cottage, and when EM and EK are a little older, I will pass it down.

The beautiful pillow and festive tablecloth are from April Cornell.

“And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭2‬:‭10‬ ‭

We can finally greet you with a current sunrise. After many days of hiding, the sun made an early morning appearance late last week. The early rays gave a nice orange glow on a very small, low patch of fog. To some, cloudy days give a sense of feeling more like Christmas, but give me the sunshine. Which do you prefer?READ MORE

Merry Tuesday! I cannot believe how fast Christmas is approaching, only twelve more sleeps!

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭9‬:‭6‬ ‭

The weather has been most unusual. It has rained for days, and on days we had little rain, the skies were dark and cloudy. We decorated outside a couple of weeks ago, and yesterday I decided to try and get photos even though there was no sun. I kept hoping for better weather, but I was running out of time!READ MORE
