Every holiday season at this time I buy candy canes for my local grandkids.
Rather than stuff them into a drawer, I hang them on the side of a glass vase-of-sorts.
Instead of traditional peppermint canes, different varieties are purchased.
The kids love them.
This is a cute and simple holiday decoration and yummy, too!
Browsing around Marshall's the other day, there were dozens of holiday liquid soaps available to buy.
So many sounded really great and could add to the merriment of the upcoming holidays.
It said "musical" hand soap and that sounded intriguing.
"Winter Berries" seemed like it would be a pleasant smell
So for $6.99, it came home with me and it's wonderful!
When one pushes down on the lever to release the liquid soap, it plays "Deck the Halls."
Can you imagine?
Who ever heard of musical liquid soap? I never did but am so happy I came across it that day at Marshall's.
Methinks the local grandchildren are going to have a heyday with that soap the next time they come to visit.
DO YOU EVER BUY PRODUCTS THAT YOU KNOW WILL MAKE PEOPLE SMILE?
Even though Thanksgiving, 2024, has yet to be celebrated, stores everywhere are decked to the gills with Christmas scenes.
In this post, the holiday decor shown is at Kringle Candle Company in Bernardston, Massachusetts.
This place has some beautifully fragrant candles as well as all kinds of decorations for the home.
It's just delightful walking around the store and seeing how others decorate.
WHAT PART OF CHRISTMAS DECORATING DO YOU LIKE BEST?
Granted, when a storm is brewing, the ocean is not too peaceful.
But on a calm, sunny November day, being there is wonderful.
On a recent visit to a sister in California, we spent a delightful afternoon at the beach.
It was peaceful listening to the fascinating seagulls, seeing the waves lapping the shore, and basking in the sunshine.
DO YOU LIKE GOING TO THE BEACH?
Here's hoping your day will be filled with good things including peace and lots of reasons to smile.
The cross pictured in today's post is on the altar of St. Kilian's, a truly beautiful Roman Catholic church in Mission Viejo, California.
While the altar is quite gorgeous, the spirit of the people and priests at St. Kilian's are also something to remember forever.
There is a warm feeling of happiness there.
Mass is a joyful time of giving thanks to Almighty God.
Whenever I travel to California, it is a must to go to worship the Lord at St. Kilian's, as many times as possible.
I hope you have a truly memorable day!
