DACULA, GA – This year’s Christmas in Dacula, held on December 6th from 3-8 p.m. and hosted by Hebron Church on the corner of Fence and Dacula roads, promises to provide even more family fun than last year’s inaugural event.
I read something this morning on a social media site that had me shaking my head. I’ll go you one better; it had me feeling a bit sad about my absolute favorite time of every year, and that’s Christmas.
It’s hot. The kids and grandkids are starting to get bored. If you’re looking for an activity that will bring your family closer together in love, you have a wonderful opportunity to start a new tradition called the Christmas Love Box.
Ah, it’s over. My favorite time of the year: Christmas. I believe that I can say, finally, I am maxed out on the festivities. Oh, I don’t mean that I am tired of the actual reason that we celebrate Christmas; that is a year-long, life-long celebration. Rather, I am maxed out on the trappings of the season.
When you’ve lost someone you love, it’s funny how thoughts of that person pop into your head, no matter how long ago you lost him. My dad died in March of last year, at the admirable old age of 93. Even now, I’ll go to pick up the phone to call him, to share some news with him, and it hits me. I can’t do that anymore. He’s gone.
Stone Mountain, GA – Gilded Dragonfly Books is proud to announced the publication of our newest anthology, A Stone Mountain Christmas.
Trader J’s Auction is more than just an auction house, it’s a family of caring and generous people who support local charities throughout the year and especially at Christmas time. This year the auction will be open again to homeless and needy families from Lawrenceville and Jenkins Elementary schools and the Villa Lodge in Lawrenceville for Christmas shopping.
Are you full? I am. I’m full of turkey and dressing of course, but I’m also full of love, hope, and promise as well. I think it’s safe to say that our family enjoyed our best Thanksgiving ever this past week, and for that, I’m also full of gratitude. All of our children were here, and our granddaughter was here too, enjoying her first Thanksgiving ever.
I wonder how many of us really remember (or even know) the reasons behind our holidays.
