Presents

So, what kind of gifts entered our household this Christmas?
Numerous CD's received resulted in music coming from various parts of the house this past week. Strains of Libera, Celtic Woman, Andy Gullahorn, "German Folk and Drinking Music", and "Roots" music could be heard.
Piano sheet music resulted in songs such as "Farewell to Stromness", "Prayer for the Children", and others coming from the piano.
The total number of books we all received was over 30! One, a book of poetry has resulted in random poems shared and recited at random times. Poems such as Kubla Khan, The Raven, The Jabberwocky, The Highwayman, Gunga Din, and others were heard.
I received a set of Louis L'Amour books on CD, "Classics of the Christian Faith" CD set, Hannah Montana stickers, and a pig terrarium.
Yes, a pig terrarium! When I was single I had a large glass pig-shaped jar with a model farm inside. I bought terrarium plants to look like trees, shrubs, and crops around the farmstead. It remained an important fixture in the house after I married. Unfortunately, it met a fateful end at the hands of the new cleaning lady. My daughter found one on ebay, so we will soon be back in business.
I have already read two of the new books and am reading two others off and on. Reading is a good thing to do on winter nights.

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Matthew 7:11
