My last post before Christmas, I think…
My parents are here, and the season is in full-swing, as I’m sure it is for ALL of us!
But, before I sign off for the week, just a few more views of my Christmas Memories journal to share with you…
I really do think starting this little book has helped me think a little more about the traditions we keep and the importance of keeping them going for our children…
…traditions—simple though they may seem—that really bind us together from one generation to the next. An invisible binding, but a binding nonetheless…
…and I wouldn’t break it for anything.
So, I’ll continue with this journal and the memories it holds next year…
And I’m quite certain this new journaling joy of mine will continue to make the holidays—and every day—sweeter in the days to come…
Pictures I’ve found here and there that spark something in me—a memory, a bit of nostalgia—and then a bit of a story. All parts of me, and the people that have made me who I am…
…all bound together in one place. Just like a family.
And being bound together with your family for Christmas is just about the sweetest thing I can imagine…
Wishing you and yours the most wonderful Christmas season of all.
See you soon
Julie

Julie you have me convinced to do one of these journals. I'm going to be purchasing the moleskine book to do it in and the pens. I love what you have done here.
