Happy Holidays to All!

With Christmas on my mind and rapidly approaching, I would like to share with you a fun website I came across that I think many of you will enjoy. It's one of the History Channel's minisites. This site highlights the topic of Christmas.

When you arrive at the site you will be taken to Christmas at the White House. This I believe is a fitting topic with events around the White House currently being in the news. Surfing this site you will discover many interesting facts about Christmas. One that struck me was the Christmas truce of 1914. It touched my heart and made me think of our soldiers in the Middle East. If only we again could attempt a holiday ceasefire. 'Tis the season ... to dream big.

On this site you will learn how the tradition of Christmas trees began. There are yummy Christmas treat recipes, holiday how-to's, and if you wish, you can even do some shopping for the History buffs on your list.

I hope you find this site entertaining and informative. Also, my hope is that this holiday season fills your spirit with wonderment and joy - that it is truly a time to remember. Merry Christmas!
