Those readers who happen to belong to the female gender can just skip this column, since it doesn’t pertain to women in the least. This column is strictly offered for the guys, because guys typically wait until the last minute to do their Christmas shopping, under the assumption that life as we know it could possibly come to a screeching halt before December 25, and they’ll be off the hook for buying gifts.
Burrrrrrrr!!!!! It’s cold. Winter isn’t even officially here. But, it was rather warm on Saturday. Seems ever year I get slower at the Christmas stuff. But, it will get done. I got the tree up and decorated. It’s an artificial one. It was leaning to the left and I told Z that it shouldn’t be leaning.
Memories at Christmas Time...
‘Tis the season to reclaim memories. Thanks be to God for treasured recollections, and for His giving us the discernment to call pleasant ones into play from days gone by.

Merry Christmas from our home to yours.
When someone tells me they read this column, I am always in awe. I expect my husband to read the column. However, everyone else surprises me. Thanks for your encouragement. I did this column in the 80’s when my Mom, Esther Jordan Hartmann, decided to get married and move to Tennyson, Texas.
