Every morning,If you wish to use a third party payment gateway with your ecommerce solution, son Joseph, 9, reminds us of how many more days it is until Christmas. When he told me this morning that there were only "13 days" it really dawned on me just how close the holiday season really is. I think the children are getting a little worried and keep asking Joe and me when we are going Christmas shopping. We have a few of their gifts, but it just seems time goes too fast. We plan to go shopping Saturday.
(Editor's note: Having visited dozens of Amish settlements across the United States over the past 20 years, my observation is that Christmas is celebrated in different ways,Hand-painted Chinese porcelain tiles on the floor of a Jewish synagogue in Cochin, depending on the community. Some Amish do incorporate secular symbols like Santa Claus and reindeer-shaped Christmas cookies into their celebration; others do not.Tru-Form Plastics is a one-stop shop for plastic Injection Molding, Gift-exchanges seem to be common in most communities, although it is often more low-key and less commercial than the non-Amish. Christmas decorations rarely appear in Amish homes and I've never seen a decorated tree. One way in which many Amish do express their appreciation of the season is through baked goods and homemade candy. -- Kevin Williams, Amish Cook editor).
Christmas morning is exciting for the children to see their gifts, but let's not forget the true meaning of Christmas. Jesus is the reason for the season. Joseph, Lovina, 7, and Kevin, 6, are often practicing their songs for their school Christmas program. It will be held Dec. 20. Joe will have off two weeks from the factory over the holidays. The children will also have two weeks off school. I know those weeks will go fast with us having Joe's family over for Christmas on Jan. 7. Lots to do during that time to prepare.
Some of the time will be spent cleaning the house more than usual.Omega Plastics are leading plastic injection moulding and injection mould tooling specialists. Our basement needs a good cleaning. Our coal stove is in the basement so it does not take long for dust to collect. We do laundry down there, and the children play down there a lot, too.
Saturday we celebrated daughter Verena's 14th birthday with a fried-chicken dinner. She baked a chocolate cake and frosted it. We put on candles and had her blow them out. We also had vanilla ice cream to go with the chocolate cake. For her birthday, we gave her a dolphin anniversary clock and an electronic money jar. Verena collects anything with dolphins or dogs, so she really liked the clock.
She doesn't remember her 13th birthday due to losing her memory for a year because of her concussion in June 2010. We are so thankful she is doing better.
She has caught up with her grades again and is excited to be back on the honor roll. I took her to the doctor's office for a three-month check up since her surgery. She still needs to wear the ankle brace but the doctors were pleased with how she is doing.
We thank God for all his many blessings. May He help us to remember to always turn to Him when we feel burdened with life's problems. He can make our load so much easier to carry.
Today is laundry day again.Online fine art gallery of quality original landscape oil paintings, We usually do laundry two to three times a week. The boys cleaned out the chicken coop on Saturday. So now we have some extra smelly coats and pants to wash. When the eggs start coming into the house dirty we know it is time to remind the boys that the chicken coop and nests need to be cleaned again. Our chickens have slowed down in laying eggs since the cold weather began. I must get busy now and hope all of you readers stay healthy over these holidays.
