This is a repost from my Reality blog from 2017. Apparently, I’ve blogged quite a big about Christmas. So I’ll take it away–from the past!

Read on….

I decided that before I started a post about Christmas, I should see what I’ve already written on the subject. I am getting old enough to start repeating myself. A lot.

So as I’m browsing through the old posts, I realize that maybe you haven’t been around my blog long enough to have seen them. So I thought I’d do a little round-up of my Christmases past:

See our redacted Christmas letter (possibly the last I ever sent out): The holiday letters are starting to arrive, which got me thinking about ours. But as you can see, something happened during the crafting of the letter… I know you want to keep reading…

The Feasting is Finished – Let the Baking Begin! – You would think that food would be the last thing on my mind and honestly, I thought I’d never be hungry again. But our bodies do not rest on our feasts. I know you want to keep reading this, too….

Let’s Talk Cookies – I LOVE cookies. I was a cookie monster before there was a Cookie Monster. So it is kind of sad that there will be no cookie baking in my house this Christmas. It’s not that I’ve suddenly become anti-cookie, nor has there been a Tragedy. I know you want to keep reading…

My Ghosts of Christmases past – As part of my Adventure in Wyoming, I’ve stirred up a lot of ghosts. Thankfully, I’m not Scrooge, so they seem to be benign. But there is something about Christmas that really brings out the memories – the good, the bad, even the crazy. And you can’t miss this one…

Reading Christmas – One Christmas, I realized that in my own way, I was limiting myself, too. It wasn’t Dickens’ fault that person only read his books. So I decided to read A Christmas Carol for the holidays. It was lovely–but I haven’t gone back and read Dickens’ other books. To keep reading…

I hope you enjoyed my little holiday roundup and the month is going well for you so far.

Perilously yours,

Pauline
