"A NEW DAWN"

A new dawn approaches as we wave adieu to Christmas's past. Look and wave good-bye to the vexations of heart . 

Let the light shine on what is to come ... HOPE ...  PEACE AND TRANQUILITY OF LIFE.

                           New adventures and  new journey embark within the tender arms of
                                                                        the New Year
                                                                       .. and with it ....

The suspense and intrigue of something ...

 deja due

 or 

familiar, 

in the stirrings

 of our souls.

A walk down an unknown pathway

 leads  us

into 

the realms of a new moon 

and

                                                          the new beginnings of
                                                                          this
                                                                   New Dawn
                                                                          2013

                                                                        " IT'S "

                                                                            an
                                                               Exciting Journey

Today I am in Kiyakyushu, Japan, awaiting the turn of the NewYear...  the Joys  and Tears  awaken with the New Dawn and overflow into a melding pot that exudes ALL that God has created and embellished with the exultation of his glorious being. I am humbled to the Joy of expectations that now surround  my trembling... Curiosity emerges like a birth and  cries out  in a voice that shouts ' I AM " .

                                                             DEAR FRIENDS

                                                    May all your dreams  come true
                                                                        in
                                                                      Joy,
                                                                    Health
                                                             and prosperity
                                                     throughout the New Year.

                                                 
                   

"MERRY CHRISTMAS"

MERRY CHRISTMAS

The love  and joy of Christmas are ringing the air.  I've started mine with some good old Christmas albums and  the fabulous Perry Como singing  "It's "Beginning to look a lot like Christmas " ... for " What is Christmas, without the beloved carols of days gone by. My favourite is " Gesu Bambino"  and " O Holy Night".  Ultimately, Handels' " Messiah " lifts me to a place of spiritual gratitude and prayer. It is my favourite.

Beyond  that, Turkey and  cranberry sauce   fulfill my dreams of a Christmas feast past and present . "Christmas In The Kitchen ", is a heart warming  book created by John Beard, that dazzles the heart with a multitude of festive recipes for  four magnificent dinners , eighteen all time cookie recipes and complete instructions for a  gingerbread house.

There is nothing  as special as Christmas camaraderie . It's a time of gathering all the bonds and traditional treasures  together with one another . I love  to create small presents and tokens from the heart, but I also love to find just the right gift to slip under the newly decorated Christmas tree. There are many different ways to celebrate and mine is with little things in the sockings. It's always the most the most satisfying and the most fun !!!

My wish for every little child is to see the movie " The Littlest Angel "  or maybe even read this  glorious little book... I remember anxiously waiting for the Christmas week to arrive so that I could enjoy the magical  storytime  on television. Of course that was when , the " Bishop's Wife" and ' The Little Matchgirl "  were classics. It was also a time when Santa had a ' Naughty and nice "list... So you better be good ( Ha ha)

Speaking of good... actually sweet and innocent ....  My grandson " Hughie"  sent a letter to Santa.

Dear Santa,

I am seven years old and believe in Santa Claus. All my classmates say you are not real , so I am the only one who believes in you. Would you please show me how to convince my friends that you exist Santa ....  and  I'm not asking but only wondering if it is possible for me to have a baby fox as a pet for Christmas.

Merry Christmas
Hughie

 I think Mommy and Daddy should , purchase ' The Miracle on 34th Street " ..( old version ) and ENJOY the spirit and magic of Christmas.

I'm wishing all my teatime friends and  blog neighbours a  most Merry Christmas and Happy New year.
