Christmas on the PorchFront Porch Appeal Newsletter - Issue # 88
Christmas is just around the corner! We just barely finished the turkey from Thanksgiving. Where does time go? Along with some special holiday lighting and porch decorating ideas we thought you'd like, Mary and I wanted to share some gift ideas and you don't have to leave the porch (or home) to get them. That works for me! We know lots of folks like the hustle and bustle of holiday shopping, but as for me, I'd much rather do it from the comfort of our porch or favorite chair. (Shopping for seven grandchildren can be rather befuddling.) Sit Back and Enjoy These Christmas Scenes
Imagine yourself in this magical placeCan you just hear the jingle bells and the swish of the sleigh in the background? It's fun to think about. Do you agree?
It's nice to stroll along shops that display twinkly lights and greeneryThe charm of fresh greenery with little white lights is undeniable this time of the year.
Who doesn't love a beautiful wreath on a fresh white picket fenceAnd to have it snowing, too. Nothing says "welcome" quite like this beautiful holiday scene.Now for Some Wonderful Christmas DecorationsTake a look at these lovely Christmas light displays. Some come from our travels and others have been shared with us. Each has its own Christmas beauty.

When our sons were young, we used to go out for a special dinner at Christmas time. Usually on Christmas eve or the evening before. Prior to heading to the restaurant, we'd draw names and then go shopping for the gift for the name we drew. The limit was $5. During our dinner we'd exchange our gifts; sometimes they would be silly and sometimes they would be surprising at what we could find for $5. But always there would be moments of glee to find out who shopped for who and what they found. Today we still have some of those $5 gifts and they bring back warm memories. It's a tradition we carry on with our grandchildren. Does your family have little traditions like ours?
