How appropriate a reminder of all that we are facing within the direction our country has been taken and how we need to remain mindful of it and all the pitfalls inherent in it throughout the year.  I pulled out and put in highly visible display a beautiful Christmas card from my son to be a daily reminder of all that is precious to me and among the many things and people I want to protect from the corruption that exists in our government today and the frontal assault of our Constitution, founding principles, and all that we hold dear.  Excellent post, Billie, and thanks for sharing this idea and a musical reminder we can use all year long and beyond.

I had a small tree ready to put away.  One of the many I use at Christmas.  I love the season and the

reason.  I put it in the corner at the top of my computer desk and will, like you, will keep it in my

vision until we can take our country back for ourselves and our children.  Maybe I will put hearts on

it at Valentine Day to remember all the love that our forefathers have given us that is slowly being

eroded.  At July 4th I put flags on it and will celebrate our Independence Day and hope that it will be on the horizon again for us soon.  Of course, there is Memorial Day, Thanksgiving and then again

Christmas.  I will keep it as a reminder to me to diligently remind those that we have put in office

why they are there, and who made it possible.  What a great idea Billy, Thanks for your inspiration

and insight.

for us to achieve again.  Thanksgiving I will

It's a beautiful way to make reality all year long and enact what we do during the Christmas season all year long......We GIVE to our chosen charities ( it is not taken from us or chosen for us), our priorities are the Christ child who was born to save us all, family and friends.  This past Christmas we also had a reason for hope as a result of the Nov.2nd election. 

Distractions tried to intrude with the lame duck Congress and soon after we are faced with the realities of the taxes to be paid in the New Year for too much government spending and ineffectual and unnecessary government programs. Which leads us back to our job and focus because what we are fighting for is to take America back....back to our God given rights..for me personally pro life is a very important right...our Constitutional rights which made our Country the greatest on earth founded on Christian Judeo ethics.

WE CAN take our country back and bring that spirit of Christmas to everyday by working righteously for our cause and enlisting everyone who is likeminded to work with us.  We must persist.  I think that the spirit of Christmas just reminds all of us how important our work is

Billie- yes, I keep Christmas in my heart all year long- Jesus died for us but it's hard to remember  that he even loves those who do very wrong  horrific acts toward others.

 Please put an adv about the Jan. date for  Beaches Tea Party meeting at Angies.

Beautiful.  JESUS CHRIST needs to be the center of our lives ALL YEAR LONG....  The two most important days in the year are Christmas and Easter.  Without Christmas, the celebration of Jesus, my Savior's birth there would be no Easter.  With no Easter, the celebration of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ the World would have no hope of an eternal and everlasting life with God the Father.

Praise God for sending His only son to this Earth to be the sacrificial lamb for my sin, and yours....
