Christmas is coming, children and adults are getting excited, trees are being put up, shopping is being done, lots of cooking, lots of festivities, lots of cheer, people greeting with smiles and goodwill messages, pantomimes and plays where children can pretend and dress up. Music, singing. Christmas songs and melodies everywhere you go.
What a wonderful time.
There may be critics, and religious followers of different faiths but if many many people can enjoy this time and spread joy and happiness then is it really so bad?
A very Happy Christmas to you all.
Wishing you peace and happiness in the coming year.

Mothers Day
With Mothers Day fast approaching I want to recommend a book to give, called 'The Mothers Book' by Elma Van Vliet, it is delightful and was pointed out to me by my 18yr old daughter saying what a lovely idea it was.
Mothers can write all the details about their children that may not be passed on and possibly forgotten in time.
Happy reading and reminiscing.
I'm also publishing this on my other blog http://storieslovedfromchildhood.blogspot.com/

St. David's Day/Dydd Dewi Sant
Today many schools throughout Wales will be a celebrating St. David’s Day. Dydd Dewi Sant. The National day of Wales [March 1st]
Many children will dress up in traditional Welsh costume and perform songs and poems of welsh culture, usually set by the youth organization of Wales called the Urdd. The children compete for prizes or certificates and have the chance to qualify through to the next round, with the ultimate goal of taking part in the Wales National Urdd competition held in May.
If the school doesn’t participate in the Urdd Eisteddfod there is usually some kind of celebration to mark this day.
The National flower a daffodil is very often worn, and boys may have a leek pinned to their lapel.
I feel because I live in Wales, that this is a nice way of carrying on old traditions, helping new generations keep up with the past.
