In an attempt to spread Christmas Cheer, I’ve asked people to answer “What do you love about Christmas?” and to share an image along with their answer. You can see everyone’s images below and I’ve included their link to their blog so you can see what each of them love about Christmas.
So what does it mean to me? It might mean something different to me each year, but this year it means spreading the cheer. If I say Merry Christmas to them at the store or if I pay for someone’s coffee at Starbucks who isn’t expecting it, perhaps the Christmas Cheer will bring a smile to their face. And while this may not sound like a deep and meaningful answer, it’s doing the little things that can add up to big things if we all do it together. So here I am with this blog post and having all of you spreading the Christmas Cheer with me! My image hopefully evokes a happy feeling of Christmas. 🙂
Please check out everyone’s images and posts by clicking on their image. It will take you to their post in a new tab. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season!

Well your image and the others are lovely and certainly spread Christmas Cheer!
I sent you my image twice to play along, but I must have messed up somehow and not followed all the instructions b/c I see my image didn’t make it to your list.
Here’s the link to my image since it was scheduled to post after your image/post appeared this morning.

I didn’t receive it. :(((( Weird!! I’m so sorry. I would never have ignored you. Let me see if I can download it and include it real quick.
December 20, 2016 at 8:17 am
Maybe it went to your Spam/junk folder?
I sent it twice b/c I realized when rereading your instructions I hadn’t sent my blog link the first time so I resent it.
Thanks for including it. I’m sorry you had to do that this morning!
December 20, 2016 at 8:21 am
No worries…it was easy for me. I just checked my junk mail and nothing. I have been having a bit of problems with that email though and am in the process of migrating to another account. Perhaps that’s the issue. Again I’m so sorry for the confusion!
December 20, 2016 at 8:15 am
I just downloaded your image and included it in my blog. Honestly, I’m not sure why I never received your email. So strange. But I’m glad I caught this before I got going for the day! Thank you SO much for participating!! 😀 😀
December 20, 2016 at 8:18 am
Thank you for doing that!
It was to participate, and I’m heading over to each site now to view the posts of others.
December 20, 2016 at 8:20 am
You’re so welcome! Thank goodness!

Merry Christmas to you, Laura! Sorry I didn’t make a link to this page, will make a correction later today. We are taking a short trip. 🙂
December 20, 2016 at 8:15 am
No worries Amy. No need to do that. Enjoy your day!! 🙂

I loved all the images, Laura, and visited each site. If I don’t read posts again before Christmas, I wish you and your family a lovely Christmas and Happy New Year!

Thank you Elen. That is so nice of you! I just made a post about my presence here in WP. I’m not going to be here anymore for awhile. I do hope you read that and friend me in the other places where I am more active. Have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year too! xoxoxo

I love the reminders of what it was like to be a kid. Like getting all excited that we were going to be at the department store just in time to see the REAL Santa at exactly the time he happened to be in THAT store. Amazing coincidence! I’ll have to forego the image because it’s been so long since I tried, I’ve forgotten how to insert a link inside a comment. Silly me.
December 26, 2016 at 4:27 pm
I love that coincidence!!! Thank you for putting it that way. 🙂

Almost forgot something else, much more important. Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
December 26, 2016 at 4:27 pm
Thank you. The same to you!

Beautiful idea, beautiful post, dear Laura. I’m so behind in visiting blogs; my writing deadlines keep me hopping these days.
Blessings for 2017 ~ Wendy

It’s good that we are both delving into what we love even more! ❤

I agree, dear Laura. Blessings on your adventures in 2017. ❤

What an excellent idea, which has resultat in a handful of great images. Cheers to you, Laura (it’s a little late for a Christmas cheer I think). I wish you all the best for 2017.

Thank you Otto. Sorry it took me awhile to respond. Don’t know if you’re aware that I’m not blogging anymore.

I think I have gotten that, but I still return to your blog every so often. 🙂

That baby looks like an iconic image from the dust bowl era, with blue eyes. Remarkable.
