Advent Day 7

"The children were nestled all snug in their beds

While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads."

-A Visit from St. Nicholas, Clement Clarke Moore

ok, so this was just an excuse to post pics of my gingerbread house from two years ago. I have gingerbread on the brain, I am planning a gingerbread lighthouse for this year!

Advent Day 6

Since today is the first Sunday of Advent, the day we light the Hope candle, here is a story about hope.

Advent Day 5

"What if you said yes?"

-Graffitti downtown Guelph, (I am too tired to figure out who said it first)

Advent Day 4

"A life lived in fear is a life half lived"

-Fran, Strictly Ballroom

Advent Day 3

"Mom smells like woodsmoke. All the time I kept on smelling her =sniiiiiff= and thinking, 'Mmmmm. Bacon.' "

-my brother, at a memorial service.

Advent Day 2

Obviously not a hyacinth

"If of thy worldly goods thou art bereft,

and to thee alone two loaves are left,

Sell one, and with the dole,

Buy hyacinths to feed the soul."

-Author unknown, my grandmother's favourite saying

Look after Aunt M up there Gran!

Advent Day 1

Thought for the day:

"Never let a little thing like complete and total humiliation stand between you and a good time."

- T.D., Martha Speaks

Yay! First day of Advent! Now, to try and find a "thought for the day" for every day until Christmas!
