Jack and Jill of America member and her daughter Recently, I have become keenly aware that good kids are created by accident. They become good because someone made a concerted effort to pour positive things into them--things like, honor, discipline and respect for others. These qualities are taught through lessons and by observation. For that reason, I have been actively considering how to give my children more examples of people who embody those qualities.  Indeed, raising my children to become good people is my most important job.

Christmas in Pittsburgh

on
Christmas 2018

“Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.”. ― Norman Vincent Peale.



We hosted about 25 people for Thanksgiving so we needed some sort of program. During Thanksgiving dinner, people went around expressing their gratitude. I played along and said some things. However, I was secretly thinking, "this ain't my favorite!" Christmas has my whole heart--hands down. It might be because "Baby Jesus" came to save our souls. It may be because it was always THE holiday for my family. Or, it might just be that I love shiny and sparkly things and Christmas has them in spades.

Whatever the reason, I LOVE Christmas. So, I decided to share a photo of myself in front of the Pittsburgh Creche. There's a history to it. While I respect you reading about it, with this post and photo, I hope you just enjoy the splendor of it all. I know I did!
