Christmas 2013 is Coming!
Christmas 2013 is Coming!
PieterSilitonga - Desember 2013 is Coming! Chrismas 2013 is Coming! This is the best time to celebrate Chrismas Day especially for Christian. In this moment, its better to get Happiness and give a kindness for all. One of my favorit Christmas Song is "The First Noel" Lets sing together...
THE FIRST NOEL
The First Noel, the Angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winters night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
And by the light of that same star
Three Wise men came from country far
To seek for a King was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
This star drew nigh to the northwest
Oer Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both Pause and stay
Right oer the place where Jesus lay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
Then entered in those Wise men three
Full reverently upon their knee
And offered there in His presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made Heaven and earth of nought
And with his blood mankind has bought.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!

Cards of Christmas Past
Cards of Christmas Past
For the past 6 years or so, I have illustrated or designed a holiday card to send out to family and friends. I have no time to create one this year (I just committed graphic design sin & ordered a photo card off an online site, shhhhh...) so here is a journey down memory lane:
2004
This was my first (and still my favorite). I am still laughing at the joke I came up with, because I realize I will never be that funny again. I used a photo from my trip to Japan and drew Santa in Photoshop. This is also the start of my postcard obsession.
2005
Another postcard design, I hand drew this and colored it in Illustrator. Thats me in the front and my old roommate, Enbion, in the background. Hes such a nice guy, he didnt even complain while I took 400 photos of him throwing "snowballs" (actually mismatched socks rolled into balls).
2006
I have nothing nice to say about this one except that it was obviously an afterthought, thrown together a few days before Christmas. This was a colored pen drawing, and the only thing saving it from complete mediocrity is I embellished all the gold parts with a glitter pen after printing, because people are impressed by shiny things. To my credit, I was 9 months pregnant at the time and the fact that I sent cards out at all is truly a Christmas miracle.
2007
As evident from the last 2 cards, having children made me "lose my edge". The grandparents loved this one of my daughter, but several friends made fun of me... one even called this "the cheesiest Christmas card of 2007"
2008
This was our family christmas card which came complete with a mix cd. I photoshoped our heads on the four "Beatles" in the front, and all our friends/favorite people in the background. The entire thing is a sort of parody/personal joke.
...Oh, and if youre wondering why you didnt receive your Christmas card/greatest hit CD last year....well......thats because I never sent them. I became so obsessed with choosing just the right songs for this cd, I was never able to finish it. opps!

Christmas in Sunny Florida
Christmas in Sunny Florida
This is my 2nd Christmas in my house in Florida. And so far this first week into Dec...the weather has been delightful, certainly not frightful ;-) But since many of the decorations I brought from Buffalo are "Snow" themed - as I am also a Snowman Collector - my house decor consists mostly of "Snowmen" and Snowflakes, and all my lights are "White". This year I am doing just a wee bit of decorating, Ill be out of town for 10 days of Dec. so will only have 20 days worth of "enjoyment" of all the work that goes into putting things out and about. Just looking at my Tree though is still Enough for me. Ive always liked decorated trees, and for my late husband Paul, our Tree each year was his Favorite part of Christmas. One year we spent most of a Dec in Florida helping my daughter move into her new home in Fla. When we got home, around Dec 20, I told him I didnt want to bother with pulling out our artificial tree and all that jazz. But he couldnt handle not having a tree up, so he took just the "top" portion of the artificial tree, put in a little stand he made, and he decorated it with white paper shapes he cut out, and made a paper chain. It was sooooooo cute. And I was happy I didnt have to get out all our stuff, and he was happy to have our own little Charlie Brown tree.
