&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;_So if a Christian is touched only once a year, the touching is still worth it, and maybe on some given Christmas, some quiet morning, the touch  will take.&amp;rdquo;  (Ha_rry Reasoner)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s fascinating to take in the sights and sounds of Christmas around this great city of Toronto.  &amp;ldquo;It&amp;rsquo;s beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere I go&amp;rdquo; as the popular song says.  All kinds of people get caught up in the Spirit of Christmas, whether they are celebrating the Birthday of Jesus or just having fun.  There&amp;rsquo;s so much to be done before Christmas Day - cooking, baking, shopping, wrapping, decorating, writing, travelling, rehearsing, praying, singing, meditating, playing, just to name a few of the important things to be done.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Bringing Christmas Inside</title><link>/posts/bringing-christmas-inside/</link><pubDate>Tue, 18 Dec 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/posts/bringing-christmas-inside/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;[caption id=&amp;ldquo;attachment_607&amp;rdquo; align=&amp;ldquo;aligncenter&amp;rdquo; width=&amp;ldquo;584&amp;rdquo;]&lt;a href="https://photos.smugmug.com/Lateblooms/n-ZkfX3Q/2012/Bringing-christmas-inside/i-3pb2pDR/0/Lx488xm99qW8Br4qjKJ2qTSPWTwc6JBzjwMVkWTqD/D/Christmas-evergreens-D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img loading="lazy" src="https://jeanjankisamaroo.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Christmas-evergreens-1024x600.jpg" title="Christmas Evergreens"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Christmas Evergreens[/caption]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The preparations for Christmas begin long before Christmas and never seem to stop.  One of my favorite activities a few weeks before Christmas is to stop by at one of the flower shops selling fresh branches and buy a bunch to make my own indoor creations. I like the look and smell of dogwood, spruce, pine, and cedar.  All the images in this collage are creations of mine that bring the joy of the holiday season inside my heart and my home.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
