Keeping Christmas All Year
It was a Christmas past, year forgotten, that this small purple envelope took up permanent residence on our mantel, a gift to my children–to all of us–from my grandfather.

Keep it on your mantel–and in your heart–all year.




Cute idea. Especially for the children.
I see you home educate. I love having that privilege too.
Oh, and welcome to the HighCallingBlogs Network. It’s a warm, thoughtful, fun place.
Ha – followed your trail of comments over here. And can I just say how much I LOVE the Christmas gift of self to Christ. What a stroke of brilliance by your grandfather! I will have to file that idea away for next year!
Thank you, Gypsymama. He’s a quietly brilliant man.
The Christmas decorations are all put away, but the purple envelope stays all year.
