Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!
My post this week is a simple collection of quotes and photos, as I'm taking some time to spend the holidays with family, making new holiday memories. Thank you for stopping by, whenever you happen to visit. At the bottom of this post is a linky where you can add your own post sharing a quote or two about the holidays and the memories associated with this time of year. You'll also find more info about the Wednesday Quotes link-up and see the date and theme for the first WQ of 2026. A full list of topics and dates, and a button for 2026 are coming soon!
It's true, Christmas can feel like a lot of work, particularly for mothers. But when you look back on all the Christmases in your life, you'll find you've created family traditions and lasting memories. Those memories, good and bad, are really what help to keep a family together over the long haul. ~Caroline Kennedy
Holidays are about creating cherished memories with loved ones and finding magic in the simplest moments. ~Jeremiah Say
Since I'm always working, my best holiday memories are definitely when I can just go home and spend time with my family. ~Chris Brown
Every year we celebrate the holy season of Advent, O God. Every year we pray those beautiful prayers of longing and waiting, and sing those lovely songs of hope and promise. ~Karl Rahner
Before we took down the tree each year, Dad would always say a prayer that we would be together the next Christmas. I cling to that prayer, which serves as a reminder that it's important to be grateful in the present for the people you love because, well, you never know. ~Catherine Hicks
Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childhood days, recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth, and transport the traveler back to his own fireside and quiet home. ~Charles Dickens
Traditions are a gift. The gift of family identity and harmony. The gift of being connected to our heritage. The gift of continuing the best of that heritage. The gift of spiritual and family values. The gift of shared memories. ~Me, from The Gift of Traditions at Homeschool Coffee Break

And other thoughts besides mine, and other ways of thinking.
