• The Crazy Of COVD Christmas

  I love holidays, but Christmas has always been my favorite. A time for family festivities, for celebrating traditions, for gatherings and parties. Most of all for remembering the Gift of love God gave us at Christmas. This year, however, it may be easier to hate this season than love it. To agonize through it rather…

• When Kind And Gentle Are Overlooked

  I love the movie “Elf”. It’s one of my Christmas favorites. I’ve discovered I enjoy the play even more. Our ten-year-old grand Isley was in her school performance of “Elf, the Musical”.

• Charlie Brown Would Be Proud

    One of my all-time favorite Christmas cartoons is “A Charlie Brown Christmas”, which came out in 1965. It’s Christmas experienced by the characters from Charles Schulz’s “Peanuts” comic strip, a comic full of the angst, failures, and the social ineptness in a group of kids.  People loved it because it reflected life, which is…
