Today we have Cooper Sending Merry Christmas 2022 Greetings! His photo with Santa Paws has us all smiles. We are closing out 2022 with this blog post given next Sunday we are greeting the New Year 2023!

With the harsh weather earlier on Friday it means this was our first Christmas where one of our nephews flying in from out of state is still at the airport almost 48 hours later since first planned departure! I think we will be looking up the Tom Hanks film where he lived in the airport for a while!

Happy 50th Anniversary Suzanne & Doug

CONGRATULATIONS TO Suzanne & Doug today on their 50th Wedding Anniversary!  Suzanne is a long time AnchoredScraps blog post reader & Pen Pal buddy! The photo she sent of them from Christmas Day 1972 is wonderful! Thanks again for letting us share in today’s happiness with you Suzanne!

Cooper Sending Merry Christmas 2022 Greetings

Here is the actual photo of Cooper with Santa Paws taken earlier this week.  

As far as previous Christmas posts, here are two blog posts I’m especially delighted to share

You may enjoy from last year my reading the 1931 short story, “The Red Glass Bowl” (December 12, 2021). 

And from my blog post on December 11, 2015 “In The Bleak Midwinter”, it is one of my favorite Christmas Carols.

That blog posts includes link to this YouTube In The Bleak Midwinter – performed by Corrinne May. 

Thank you again for all of the Christmas Cards still receiving from everyone. If you are like me (and still addressing Christmas cards) I encourage you to still keep writing them. The mail goes out again beginning Tuesday (in the U.S. no mail on December 26 this year).  I know they are still welcomed to the recipients!

Wishing everyone safe travel and good health. Merry Christmas 2022!

Anchors Aweigh,  

Helen
