Stockings

 Laura made new Christmas stockings for Justin and Ingrid to hang. As far back as 1823, in the poem “A Visit From Saint Nicholas,” stockings were hung near the fireplace, awaiting a visit from Santa Claus.

Stockings have changed over the years.

December 2

Fleta’s Hannah turns 18 today. Wishing her all the happiness in the world on your special day. Hannah is a Hebrew name meaning favor or grace.  Hannah is also a paladrome.  It’s the same spelled front or back.  Special name for a special lady.

Logan and Astrid have the stable framed.  Next will be the roof. It’ll have a tin roof.

 

December

 Laura’s been home all week.  She made rolls for our Thanksgiving meal.  There were a few left over, but when Siggie searched for one her Dad had eaten them.  She moaned and Laura made a pan for her yesterday.  I got two.  Yesterday, I had one with honey and will have the other today. 

Astrid and Logan’s stable is moving along.  I’m excited for them.  The old one stays wet in the winter and this one is on a concrete slab.  

December is here.  Merle said— if we make it through December everything will be alright!
