Snow is definitely not in the air, but my toes are a tad cool.\u00a0 It is a pleasant day here in the Philippines with only a high of 88 degrees with 74% humidity.\u00a0 Clouds overhead definitely won\u2019t produce snow, but maybe a sprinkle.\u00a0 Even with no chance of snow, Ginger has decorated our home with snowmen on the walls, on the pillows, and on the shelf.\u00a0 Ginger loves seasons and holidays, even if they aren\u2019t observed where we live.\u00a0 So, in January we have snowmen everywhere in our living and dining room.\u00a0 In February, Ginger replaces the snowmen with hearts and flowers.\u00a0 In May, she decorates the house with tulips.\u00a0 Every month, Ginger has a theme to match a holiday or a special event . . . like our anniversary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each and every month, the decorations change, but not our Christmas card wall.\u00a0 This is a special place that Ginger hangs all the Christmas cards we received from the previous Christmas.\u00a0 Each night just before heading to bed, Ginger takes a Christmas card down and places it on the dining table.\u00a0 The following day, our family prays for the sender during breakfast, lunch, and dinner. \u00a0As the day comes to an end, Ginger hangs that Christmas card on the wall again and takes another one down for the next day.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Christmas card wall. Can you find your card?<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In the past, we have taken all the Christmas cards down on January 1st<\/sup> and hung up all the new cards we just received, and the tradition of praying continues on.\u00a0 Well, this year, there were no new cards (probably due to delays in the postal service).\u00a0 So, this year, all the Christmas cards we received in 2019 will remain on the wall.\u00a0 Please know we are praying with you and thinking about you.\u00a0 Looking forward to enjoying each of these seasons in the States soon.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
