The Little Drummer Boy Video

I just saw this on the NBC Nightly News and went to You Tube to watch the new video that Bob Dylan did for his new Christmas Album. Yes, you heard me right, Bob Dylan and Christmas.

has always been one of my favorites.
 You will love the art and animation
 in this beautiful song.



This video is really is wonderful!

I'm really excited about Christmas!

White Wednesday, Little White Christmas Churches

There is just something so serene and peaceful about a country church. From my childhood drives with my family I can remember the small clapboard structures with the towering steeples. And when the snow dusted their rooftops they became magically beautiful; a place where one could slip inside, sit quietly in a back pew, and marvel at the sunlight streaming through the stained glass windows.
Here are a few of my small Christmas churches that I've been collecting for the last several years. These next few are found in my "Holiday Cupboard", which I showed this last Monday.


















These next few are on a tray on my coffee table downstairs.
Mostly metal votive holders.




This one is bisque.






These next few photos are newer larger lighted ones,
 with small interior bulbs.
I love how they look at night all aglow.









And this one in my Dining Room was a gift
 from my daughter Erin a few years ago.
We found it at the Seed Box when they had their store in Ozark.
Even though it's not technically "white", I wanted to share it.






Hope you're having a blissful week.
Many of you are getting snow.
 Maybe we will all have a White Christmas!




Say Hello to Kathleen and all the others at

Happy White Wednesday,
