A Victorian Christmas

On Sunday, December 18th, we held a Charles Dickens Christmas at the HOLDSWORTH HOUSE.  We had 8 children come for the afternoon.  The tree in the gentlemen's parlour was decorated, cookies we made, and strories were told.  We had a very enjoyable afternoon with the children, after all, that is what Christmas is all about.  Later that evening, I went out to Smith's Cove Baptist Church for their Christmas Cantata.  It was very nice to be part of a small congregation listening to Christmas music in an old country church.

Tony and I loaded some supplies in the RV.  Our trip to Florida is getting closer.  We will be closing Mag Pyes on the 31st of December.  It's hard to believe that in a couple of weeks we will be on our own schedule for almost three months. 

We are finding the house quite cozy, considering that the temperature has been a couple degrees below zero the last few days.  We have a wood fire in both the gentlemens parlour and in the kitchen.  Between them, we heat the whole house.

Our neighbours have given us a bounty of cookies and homemade candy.  Yummy!!  Something to eat, that I didn't have to cook.

If I don't get a chance to add to the blog before Christmas, I wish you all a Merry one, and the best in the Holiday Season.
