I am
pleased to announce that in celebration of Christmas and my recent 100th
post I will be hosting a blog hop on Monday, December 14, 2015. The Christmas
Joy Blog Hop is for anyone who would like to share what brings them joy at
Christmastime. Tell us what makes Christmas special for you. To participate,
just sign up your blog on the linky list below, post on December 14 with the
Christmas Joy badge >>>, and visit fellow participants to spread the Christmas
cheer! You can make the post as long or as short as you would like. Here are
some things you could include:
- A special Christmas memory
- Favorite Christmas
song/carol
- Share why you celebrate Christmas
- Favorite decorations, favorite
food or treats, etc.
- The best gift you ever gave or received
- Traditions
I
will probably include all of the above because Christmas has always been my
favorite time of year! So, please join in on the fun and feel free to tell your
friends :)
Christmas Joy Blog Hop Participants:
Be Thankful
I would like to wish my American friends a Happy Thanksgiving! Take a moment to remember the things God has blessed you with and thank Him for what He has done in your life. Sometimes we get so focused on what we don’t have, that we forget the things we do have. Don’t take those things for granted. I know the recent attacks in Paris are still heavy on our hearts, and that is reason enough to hold on tighter to those you love. At the end of our lives, the people we care about are much more important than wealth or fame, so tell your loved ones that you are grateful for them today!
“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.” Colossians 3:15 (NIV)
I signed up for the blog hop :) Not sure what I will write, LOL, since Christmas is a hard time for me, but I'll come up with something. Oh, just got an idea!! Now I just have to pull it all together.
ReplyDeleteSo true to hold our love ones close and to let them know how often we love and appreciate them; as well as always thanking God for everything.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

DeleteThat's my last post day of the year, so I'll join you!
ReplyDeleteHave a Blessed Thanksgiving.
Thank you, Alex, glad to have you joining in :)
DeleteThis sounds like a lively blog tour. Unfortunately, my blog that day is full and adding more would make it too long. Darn. I'll try to hop around though to see what others post. :)
ReplyDeleteChrys, I wish you could join :( I hope you still have a joyful time reading through the posts that day!
DeleteLook at the pic of those sweet kitties. And what a neat blog hop idea.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandra! I figured my cats needed their own home on my page :) You should join the blog hop, it'll be fun!
DeleteI've been spending a lot of time being thankful lately. And I feel the joy of the season already.
ReplyDeleteThat's great to hear, Susan! I'm glad you joined in :)

ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us, Spacerguy! It is a great way to end the year :)
DeleteWhooo, I just made it. I learned about your blog hop from Birgit this a.m. She got me in the mood after reading her story and you got me even more in the mood when I came by to see what the blog hop is all about. Love it. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you joined us! That was my goal, to spread Christmas cheer :)
