15th Century
I spent four slow hours cleaning the house today, sprucing up and gently setting to rights, refreshing candles and putting away gifts. But we’re by no means ‘done’. I’ll be sweeping pine needles and picking up fallen holly berries for another good week and a day, for we keep Christmas right up to the very chime of midnight on Twelfth Night around here. 
Wishing you all a very lovely Fourth Day of Christmas!!
Beautiful tree!
I love to keep the season as long as possible! We start right after Thanksgiving and usually end at New Years.
Blessings!
Lanier – I love it when you post. It’s always inspiring; always relevant. I’ve actually linked to you from my own website. Prayers to you and your great guy for a wonderful year – the best year yet! ~ Holly & John
Lanier – I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all of your Christmas posts this year. I’m so glad to see you posting regularly. You are a true blessing!
Lanier,
Your Christmas posts (and the accompanying songs) have been so lovely! Such an inspiration!
Best wishes for a wonderful New year!
Lanier, I am at least three posts behind on visiting with you, due to the holidays, and am supposed to be running off to in-house festivities even now! But I look forward to the pleasure of browsing at my leisure in January.
Your cyber-sharing has been a true joy for me in 2009, and I thank you from my heart.
Many, many blessings for a joyful 2010 for you and yours (including all of God’s creatures surrounding you)! May you be blessed as you bless, and more.
