A Christmas Compendium

 

Since I started this blogging nonsense eleven years ago, I have frequently written a Christmas theme entry.  Many of you are fairly new to my writing and therefore have not read all of these masterpieces. So, to give you something to read other than your bible or Christmas cards during this time, I present links to several of these pieces.

To get you off on a happy note, here are a couple with a more humorous (I hope you agree) theme found at these links.

I think of myself as something of an amateur historian including ancient history. Therefore, three of the blogs are of a more historical nature as follows.

One blog is a hope. It may seem a forlorn hope, but I believe that even one or two steps can make a difference.

And finally, one blog is a personal one. Unfortunately, the village no longer adorns my house since it is smaller than my previous place and the trains have now also gone.

If you choose to read these pieces, you can do it find of like a countdown to Christmas, one reading very couple of days. Or you can settle back, maybe in front of a fire with a glass of wine and binge watch the entire seven offerings.

Either way, I hope that you enjoy them and that this leads to a very Merry Christmas.
