Merry Christmas everybody! I hope you have had a blessed and awe inspiring day!

We have stayed home today just being together and opening gifts. It’s been a nice relaxing day with no stress and no deadlines. Kind of nice for a change. 😎

Each year, I participate in the #silvergoldstackers community Secret Santa exchange. @welshstacker has tirelessly coordinated this exchange between folks for the past several years. Thank you for the effort you put towards this!

I received my Secret Santa gift in early December. It went immediately under the tree awaiting Christmas Day. I opened it today to discover a multitude of various chocolate goodies inside along with an envelope!

The card reads inside:

Dearest Elizabethbit,

May every smile you give,
Every act of kindness you bestow
And every hope you
Send out into the world
Come back to you!

Merry Christmas

Your Secret Santa

To go along with all that chocolate and the lovely card was…….Silver!

NKJV Matthew 2:1-2

Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.”
