Nearly time to celebrate! We’ve been wrapping gifts (super cute gift bow template from here)…
…having first adventures on the sewing machine (first time on the sewing machine for both boys! They sewed a Christmas house each, completely by themselves – from selecting the fabric, cutting the pieces, sewing on the button door-handle, and using the machine. I supervised and hand-sewed the opening closed when they finished. So proud of them! House idea from here)…
…and making biscuits to give to our neighbours.
All this making and baking and buying and wrapping and decorating is so much fun, and spending time with people we love is so special. But through it all, we’re keeping our eyes fixed on the real meaning of the celebration! (Gorgeous printable from here)
When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. Luke 2:15-16
We wish you the very happiest Christmas, and a new year full of joy and peace. Remember that tiny baby born so long ago – born just for YOU!
