Blogmas 2024: 12/1

It hardly seems possible that it's time for 'Blogmas' again!  It seems that it was just a few weeks ago that we were doing Blogmas 2023, but here we are ready for Blogmas 2024!

In years past, I have done Blogmas over on A Working Pantry, but since we have our Circling the Wagons class going on over there, I moved Blogmas here, to Grandma's Got A Sewing Machine.  Truth be told, this is where it should be anyway!

What is Blogmas and why do I do it?

Blogmas is daily posts from December 1st - December 24th or as close to that as my schedule will allow, of our journey to Christmas Day!

Blogmas is a lot of work, I'm not going to kid you ... and here's why I do it ...

Why I do Blogmas?

 It's no secret that I love everything about Christmas!  From the day after Thanksgiving till the last box of Christmas decor is packed away and put back in storage for the next year, I love every bit of it!   My husband and I are senior citizens who generally spend the holiday season alone.  While we do have lots of very good friends and our church family nearby, all of our family and children live far, far away.  Our children have children of their own to make holiday memories with within their own homes.  They are very thoughtful to include us in as much as possible via technology and we are so grateful to them for going beyond the extra mile to include us.   

 I started doing Blogmas because I had a choice, either lose myself in sorrow over what I could not change or embrace the love I have for the season and share it with others.   I chose to share my joy in the journey not only with my children and grandchildren long-distance, but with others who love the season as I do and who just might find themselves spending the holidays alone as well. I hope in some small way you get a glimpse of holiday joy through these Blogmas posts and that it spills over into your life this holiday season!

I'll meet you back here tomorrow for Day 2 of Blogmas 2024!
