Remembering at Christmas and SGM Christmas Extravaganza 2010 (Giveaway)

Last year we shared the ways we remember our loved ones who are no longer with us at Christmas. I would like to the same this year. And, in memory of my mother...who loved Christmas so much that in her healthy years her decorations rivaled the lights of Vegas...Sufficient Grace Ministries is hosting a plethora of giveaways for those who participate. It's sort of like Oprah's My Favorite Things Show (Is that even what she calls it? I'm not sure.)...not that I endorse or aspire to be Oprah. But, this will sort of be Kelly's Favorite Things. Every year, no matter how difficult things in our family had been financially or otherwise, my mother made Christmas special. She took great delight in giving us the perfect present. I can still see that child-like twinkle in her eyes on Christmas morning.

We will be doing the  Remembering at Christmas post  to link to this week on the Walking With You page. This first round of giveaways will be for a special ornament to remember your loved one at Christmas. We are giving one baby boy Hallmark ornament, two Hallmark Always Remembered Ornaments (a porcelain clam with a pearl in it that says, "Every life leaves something beautiful behind.") And, one person will win a very special ornament hand painted by my friend Deanna who creates beautiful ornaments in memory of loved ones who have gone home to heaven as found on her site: Payton's Precious Memories (in memory of her daughter, Payton Rose). Deanna is donating an ornament for this giveaway...thanks so much, Dee!

Please click on this link to the Walking With You Page to find out how to enter, and stay tuned. This is the first of many Christmas goodies we are offering on the SGM Christmas Extravaganza 2010!
