Christmas

Hi! I am not very good at this. I haven't written a while so I don't think very many of you will read this. Christmas is coming and I don't know about you but we are very busy. My brother in the army is coming home next week for two weeks!! My sister-in-laws baby is due in less than a month!
We have been getting in to the Christmas spirit, we got our tree last Saturday! It is beautiful if I say so myself. Christmas is a very special time of year, we always celebrate by going to my grandmas house on Christmas day and celebrate with our immediate family another day!
I am making Christmas presents and buying some of them of course. I am running out of time I still have to get a few.

Reenactments are done for the year but we have a party in January which I hope to wear the party dress I made!
My sister-in-law had a shower with our reenacting group and one of the ladies gave her a baby gown and another one gave her a size 12 mos. gown. They are beautiful! I hope that when I have a baby I get some beautiful baby gowns also.

Also do you know of any good books about mothering in the civil war.

Well, I am going to leave you now and hope to write before to long.

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!!!!
