Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories - Christmas Shopping
Some of my favourite Christmas presents as the ones that my Grandson buys me
Some are from his school's Christmas Bazaar and other craft fairs. The rest are from the mall.
He's bought me a little blue stained glass church;
a cute little reindeer candle holder with wiggly legs that matched two wine stoppers I already had;
a 3" crystal ornament - the ones that have the engraving inside, the one he chose was a little flower fairy with Lady Slipper blossoms;
a little blue angel with fluffy white hair handmade from an upside down flower pot ;
a 3" crystal reindeer hanging ornament;
a 12" brown reindeer, we've hung my Christmas earrings on the antlers;
a 3" purple crystal teardrop hanging ornament.

Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories 2010 ~ Grab Bag
I've missed the first few days of the Advent Calendar, so I'm going back to the Christmas Cards.
These two are from Grandpa George Albert JOHNSON's suitcase of memorabilia. When Grandpa George was nearing the end of his life in the early 1960's, he gave the suitcase to one of his four sons, William "Bill" Lester JOHNSON. Uncle Bill was the eldest of George's two surviving sons at that time.
William Lester JOHNSON, was born 22 January 1911 and died 21 January 1995, aged 84 years.
George Albert JOHNSON, was born 2 November 1875 and died 29 January 1964, aged 88 years, 3 months.
Several photographs, greeting cards and Funeral cards were lent to me in early 2009 by Uncle Bill's son, who is now the caretaker of this suitcase. He's one of my first cousins.

This photograph was pasted over top of a verse and someone elses' signature. Perhaps recycling during the Depression!

Xmas comes with joys abounding,
Happiest, best of Days,

And your heart with praise.
