Easier Way To Keep Christ In Christmas
by Texas Homesteader ~
This time of year is known for cheer and excitement. Trees trimmed with sparkly decorations & cheerful gifts under the tree.
It’s known for an awareness of sharing and giving to others. A gentle season pushing us to remove the focus from ourselves & think of others.
But oftentimes there’s an uglier side too. Think about all the hateful rhetoric flung about on social media this time of year about Merry Christmas vs. Happy Holidays.
Sometimes it calls for action, snarkily responding to those wishing us a Happy Holiday that we want to hear only MERRY CHRISTMAS!
It’s a well-meaning but oftentimes harsh push to keep Christ in Christmas. But that unnecessary ugliness is really disturbing to me.
I Am So Thankful!
by Texas Homesteader ~
I have way too many blessings to count, but I’m so thankful for them all. Food to nourish me, a bed for rest and the love of family to warm my heart. I count YOU, my dear friends, as a blessing as well.
Happy Thanksgiving, y’all!

I thought homemade mint extract might make great gifts. But I needed to purchase small jars to hold the extract.
But it just seems… I don’t know – not quite right to go to the craft store & buy small bottles. Thankfully I’ve found an alternative that works beautifully – check out today’s Homestead Hack.
