I'd rather have homemade jam than just about anything, (except jam AND a loaf of fresh bread). It's such a thoughtful gift, it makes me feel important that someone thought enough of me to make something for me... Merry Christmas!RainyPMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06236256948179373338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310781568044084105.post-83015400039031733252008-12-20T05:37:00.000-08:002008-12-20T05:37:00.000-08:00I just found your blog and love it!

Jam is an excellent gift! I believe that people would rather know that you are not going into debt to give gifts for them....I make jam/jelly too:)<BR/><BR/>I hope you are feeling the Spirit of the Season by now. <BR/>Peace.<BR/>Lori Jolliffe<BR/><BR/>lorijolliffe@gmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310781568044084105.post-33091988155656540382008-12-16T12:26:00.000-08:002008-12-16T12:26:00.000-08:00This reminds me of a Christmas Pa and I had.

Our tree lost all the needles and we took it down before Christmas for fear of fire.<BR/> G&G M&M couldn't stand the thought of us being alone so they surprised us that evening.<BR/> There was such a peace around us that day, that even now when I think back I can almost feel that peace again.<BR/> I hope that you will have that same peace this year.Queen Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16652082809249949753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310781568044084105.post-47191972868200713372008-12-16T10:10:00.000-08:002008-12-16T10:10:00.000-08:00It hasn't felt like Christmas here, but is turning...It hasn't felt like Christmas here, but is turning around. I hope it starts feeling like Christmas for you, too. <BR/><BR/>My grandfather used to make homemade jam. I held on to a jar he made me for a long time because I didn't want to eat it up and then have none. I still hold on to the things he made for us. Those are the most precious gifts.Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15371122721416715477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310781568044084105.post-23580407430685735722008-12-15T17:08:00.000-08:002008-12-15T17:08:00.000-08:00I have been thrilled by your homemade jams each ye...I have been thrilled by your homemade jams each year. They brighten my day & remind me of you everytime I open my fridge! Never feel guilty about that. I know what a sacrifice it is to put in all that hard work & then lug them all the way down here every year.<BR/><BR/>While my family won't be as far away as yours is, I still won't be with them this Christmas. They are all staying in the land of the Queen Mother. It's hard to call & hear the festivities going on down there & know I can't hop in the car & make the trip. <BR/><BR/>Last year we missed out on everything due to strep being passed around our house. After cooking a big dinner & laying it out for Husband & the FarmHands, I went in my room & cried. I can sympathize with you to an extent.FarmWifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08160105159061698526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310781568044084105.post-76050211513540561362008-12-15T11:16:00.000-08:002008-12-15T11:16:00.000-08:00Gosh, Inkling.

You sound sad tonight.I hope by the time you read this you are feeling a little better.I want you to know that if anyone gave me home-made jam for Christmas I would be thrilled... much better than a bought present. And every time I dipped into it through the year I would think of you and smile.As Christmas draws near I am sure that you will feel your spirit lift. Take care of yourself.
