~Christmas~ 
that magic blanket that wraps itself about us, 
that something so intangible that it is like a fragrance.
It may weave a spell of nostalgia. Christmas may be a day of feasting,
or of prayer, but always it will be a day of remembrance
~a day in which we think of everything we have ever loved.
~Agusta E. Rundel~

 Thank You Debra for being our Gracious Hostess once again!

  6. Hi Jill, I can't tell you how much I enjoyed seeing these gorgeous works of art. How did you know the Shortening of Winter Days is one of my very favorite paintings? I'm a "sheep lover" and these old English and French paintings are dear to my heart. So glad you linked up to VIF. Thanks so much for the blessing,
    hugs,
    Debra
