" This Christmas season let us try. . ."

This Christmas season let us try
To do some golden deeds,
To carry someone’s burden,
To help someone in need.
There are always those who need us
As we journey on life’s way,
And the friends we win by helping
Make us richer every day.
So when you see a saddened face
As Christmas time draws near,
Do your best to lift the load
And spread a word of cheer.

From the book, "Getting Ready for Christmas"

written by an Amish woman, Emma Lapp

fruit, greenery and pine cones are the decorations of choice at our house

The light in the dinning room decked with berries and vines

Our new tree. Nothing theme about our tree, except maybe simple !
