We're about to leave for our annual trip to see our daugther for Christmas, just having a quick look-in while having my lunch


A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all xxx

May 2020 be a happy, healthy and peaceful one.

Good morning :-)


All good wishes to you too Sylvia - have a great time! <3


I don't know about anyone else, but I am all 'election-ed' out! :-\

Hello all

A big AMEN to the Advent Calendar Prayer for Peace today.

Emma, your lovehearts are so thoughtful and well received. Thank you x

Sylvia, Seasons Greeting to you and have a safe journey and a Happy Christmas with your daughter soon.

Remembering all who are feeling stressed with the commercialism of Christmas.

Good morning :-)


Would you believe it is now seven years since this thread began? John, who began it, was banned for 6 years so I volunteered to look after it. Never, ever thought it would continue for so long though. At the beginning, I used to write down the prayers I had used so as not to repeat them too often, but that soon stopped as I became more involved. Over 2,500 prayers later...………………………..whew!

I am not in touch with John, but if anyone is, please give him my regards - he may want to resume responsibility again :-

Hello all

7 years have passed quickly. It would be good if John was allowed to return and take over again to give Cynthia a much needed break. You've done well. Thank you.

Hello to John, if he is looking in. Happy Christmas to you and your family.

3rd Advent Candle lighted today. This is a Pink one and symbolizes Joy/Rejoicing.

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness
be evident to all. The Lord is near. (Philippians 4: 4-5 NIV).

Good morning :-)

I don't think John is interested in this site anymore kandj, I remember AnnCardiff telling me that he was surprised I was still doing it. These boards are so different to how they once were.

Hello all

I agree with you that the GR threads are very different now than years ago.

LOVE todays Advent theme of JOY!

Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King.
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven, and heaven and nature sing.

One of my favourite hymns. I'll have this in my head all day today.

A cold and frosty morning. Wrap up and keep warm everyone if you're going out.

Hello all :-)

Sorry haven't been in touch much but am moving house
next year and what a paper work, phoning etc are keeping
me and OH busy :-)

Good morning :-)


I don't envy you Emma - a very stressful time indeed. Hope you can manage a rest over Christmas.

We're having our bedroom decorated and its bedlam......so much stuff to move - so time for a clearout methinks! :-D

Not looking to move till February but getting things in
place, not easy this time of year but we will get there :-)

Emma, February will soon come. Moving is very stressful and there always seems to be some last minute hitch but I hope everything goes smoothly for you. We decided to make a move some six years ago and it’s the best thing we have done. I wish you as much happiness in your new home as we have found in ours.

I hope your day has been less chaotic Cynthia. I am full of admiration for the amount you do. I think you must have a little clockwork motor running inside. I am still enjoying opening a new advent window each day. I haven’t found the chocs yet so I will have to make do with the prayers ;-)

Good morning :-)

Moving house is such a stressful time agreed.....hopefully, things will settle down quickly.

Vera, I feel like the little rabbit in the battery advert :-D

Vera thank you so much <3

Cynthia my batteries have shut down today,
we are having a restful day today and that goes
for our dog Rory :-)

Good morning :-)


Sounds a good idea to me Emma <3

I only tend to nip on and off here but haven't seen David for a while - is he okay does anyone know?

Love this.... "Make sure you get supplies in for 30 days as the shops will be shut for 12 hours". :-D :-D

Hello, good morning to you all <3 Seasons greetins to you all :-D

Been under the weathe lately, but who hasn't ?

Didn't want to post "obscure" items at Christmas ;-)

Don't want to be thought blasphemous.

Good morning :-)


Ah, there you are David - hope you feel better soon. You can just post something nice and Christmassy :-D

The theme at church today is very much based around the Virgin Mary and the birth of Jesus.

Our Advent door for today.....

Hello all

The fourth Advent candle was lighted in church this morning. It is another purple one which is known as the Angel's Candle and signifies Peace. With this one we are reminded of the Angel's message of "Peace on earth, goodwill towards men."

David, very sorry you're not feeling well and I hope you will feel much better soon.

Thoughts and prayers to all who may be struggling with the so-called Festive Season. Sending ((hugs)) now to all who need them x
