119 Days until Christmas!
How about a short trip to Scotland? How many have a Scottish Ancestry? I went to Sorn, Scotland to see if I could track the family of my great, great Grandfather...the little church there - ANCIENT! But no gravestones with my family name. I was a bit saddened, but the folks at that little place encouraged me saying that those people probably moved to another place. Indeed, I found later that my great, great, great grandfather died in a mining accident in Ayr...!
Perhaps in another trip, I can go investigate that place and see the stones where the mother and father of my great, great grandfather were laid. Can only hope. Wouldn't it be lovely to go at Christmas time? Somehow, I find that idea very comforting.

Guess what?
There are only 126 days until Christmas!
That just means that Saint Nicholas is busy coordinating things at the North Pole, with the help of his missus as they make the preparations for this coming season's big night! In the meanwhile, what do you think he's doing in his 'spare' time? Well, he could be helping with the harvesting going on here and there all over the United States of America and in other places; or he might be doing what he can for animals who were injured in some of the fires happening in Montana, California, or other places!
Whatever he might be doing, you can bet he's got a lot of support back at his home! So what are you doing in preparation for the big day? Me...I'm taking steps to get the Never Before Found Chronicles of Santa published through Covenant Books. We are hoping the collection of stories will be ready in time for Christmas, so here we go! I'll be sending teasers your way so you, too can get some idea of what kinds of adventures Santa gets himself involved in. Either way, it's going to be fun!
Take care and be Blessed!
