December 12th and December 13th

The weekend flew by and I spent most of Friday and Saturday (when I wasn't away at a Girl's High School Swim Meet) doing good deeds for the people in my family. However, most important was to take a little time for myself to regroup.

As we carried out the boxes of Christmas decorations from under the house I began to get a bit nostalgic. Every year I put out the Christmas Creche, carefully unwrapping each ceramic piece from the newspaper of years gone by. This particular creche has been in my family for years. I began to wonder how many hands had unpacked these same pieces and what there thoughts were during this time of year. It gave me great comfort knowing that so many have enjoyed this little manger set for so long.
