<b> I was the lucky winner of the E-book 'Celebrate Jesus' by Amy Blevins in a giveaway. It certainly inspired me to have Advent Candles this year. I have two items featuring Nativity scenes that I think are perfect to surround with candles. The first is a globe that my mom got over 50 years ago. She had two of them but now there is only one and it has been on my bookshelf for many years. It has always been treasured by my twin and me. The second one is a plaque.</b><br />

<b> Christmas is just a few days away and I have been thinking about what we will be having as part of our Christmas dinner this year. One thing that I am already sure about is that this Christmas I will be busier than usual in the kitchen. I don't mind at all although it is good when you have an experienced chef preparing the goodies. I will miss that this year.</b><br />
<b> I tend to get a burn now and then so this time I will be sure to have my potholders ready. Anyway it will be my old potholders that will save me. I have two Christmas potholders but I think they are just too beautiful to be soiled. If they make their way into my kitchen it will only be as decorations.</b><br />

<b> I have been listening to Christmas carols and reminiscing on all the wonderful times I had listening to a wide variety of carols with my twin - reggae, calypso, traditional, you name it. We especially enjoyed hearing them when we were busy decorating, baking Christmas puddings and preparing special Christmas meals. I smile as I recall that one year we heard Christmas carols on our birthday, November 4 . We had a good laugh. The radio station really started playing Christmas carols early that year.</b><br />
<b> In recent years I have listened to carols on the radio stations but this time I decided to also listen to some CDs that I got but had not yet listened to. </b><br />

<b> The one above features top singers on two CDs singing 42 carols! I wanted to list some of my favourites but so many of them sound great. I therefore decided to mention a few of the ones that I was hearing for the first time and like a lot - 'The Holly And The Ivy' - Annie Lennox, 'The Little Road To Bethlehem' - Hayley Westenra and 'Christmas In The Country' - Sara Storer with Shane Howard.</b><br />
<div>
<div>
<b> Many of my favourite traditional carols were also on the CDs - 'Joy To The World,' 'Hark, The Herald Angels Sing,' 'The First Noel,''Little Drummer Boy,' 'I Wish You A Merry Christmas,' 'Oh Holy Night' 'Silent Night 'and 'Jingle Bells.'</b></div>

<b> I spent the weekend looking through my Christmas decorations as I contemplated which ones to use this year. I usually choose those that were favourites of my twin and me. Of course it is always great to add some new ones every year.</b><br />
<b> At times I receive decorations from abroad late so I put them down for the next year. This is one of them and for sure it will be part of my decorations this year. </b><br />

<b> As I held it I was in for a wonderful surprise. I felt something inside so I turned it around and found a space in the back. Lo and behold an angel fridge magnet was tucked inside! I have had a lot of luck with angel items this year - an angel pendant, winner of angel cards and bracelets in a giveaway and now this angel fridge magnet. I doubt I will use it as a fridge magnet. Instead it will be part of my decorated Christmas memory table. Of special significance is that this was among the gifts sent to me by one of my twin sister's former pen pals whose first name is Janine.</b><br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<b> In recent months I have linked up with several persons on <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/">LinkedIn</a>. Among them is Angel Andrews who has a website titled <a href="http://www.wahpursuit.com/">Work At Home Pursuit</a>. This site certainly lives up to its tagline - A Source For Everything Work At Home. I like the comprehensive coverage of a wide variety of work at home opportunities, jobs, posts and resources. </b><br />
<b> When one works at home one often needs someone, something and somewhere that give us that inspiration to keep on keeping on. Furthermore there are certain realities that one has to take into consideration. I find that this site fulfills these needs therefore I recommend it.</b><b> </b><br />
<b> A wealth of knowledge flows from persons who are actually living the work at home life. If it is your dream to be able to work from home whether full-time or part-time you will find helpful advice and inspiration. </b><br />
<b> When Angel asked me to write a guest post for this site I readily agreed and wrote an</b><b> article titled <a href="http://www.wahpursuit.com/join-me-in-the-blogging-world-written-by-judy-haughton-james/">Join Me In The Blogging World</a>. </b><br />

<b> Can you believe that we are actually in the month of December?! The days are moving so quickly. Before we know it Christmas will be here. My twin and I enjoyed decorating our home at Christmas and also taking pictures beside the decorations. I decided that I would make a Christmas collage of some of these pictures and use it for my header during this month. </b><br />
<b> Christmas decorations certainly help to lift one's spirit and I am glad that I have been able to decorate our home after the loss of my twin and again after my brother Sutcliffe died during the Christmas season of 2011. There was a time when I felt that decorating was a thing of the past for me. </b><br />
<b> I look forward to decorating a special memory table for my departed loved ones again this year. I am usually a bit late with the decorating but for sure it will be done. How is your decorating coming along?</b><br />

<b> Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates this holiday. I think it is always good to give thanks. It is not a holiday in my homeland, Jamaica, but I take time out to give thanks for my relatives and friends, the wonderful persons I have met online, the strides I have made in my writing and blogging this year, the strength and courage I have had in facing health challenges and the departed loved ones who have left me with with special memories. In that mode I share one of my favourite quotations-</b><b> "Gratitude is the best attitude."</b><br />

<b> My twin and I loved buying figurines and found it difficult to pass many when we were out Christmas shopping. Of course it is no secret that we have a huge bird figurine collection. With the holiday season fast approaching I need to muster the energy to take all the birds out of my display unit and rearrange them. If I do get to do that I will be sure to post it here. In the meantime I will share some favourite animal figurines that we have used to decorate our home over the years. </b><br />

<b> I have read about bloggers attending blogger conferences and sharing the wonderful time they have had meeting other bloggers, learning more about blogging etc. I am yet to have such an experience. In the meantime I have been learning a lot about freelance writing and blogging by attending webinars. This is quite new to me. I am glad that I now have an internet service that can give me such an opportunity. I like the idea that one can join in and share views and ask the hosts questions. Some of the more recent webinars that I have joined were those given by Jon Morrow, Sophie Lizard, Laura Leigh Clarke, Carol Tice and Sharon Baker. I found them to be informative and inspirational.</b><br />

<b> I have so many candle holders in my home but I find it difficult to use some of them. This is the latest one and it has a beautiful pink candle inside.

I may light it some day but for now I will just use it to decorate a table in our living-room and as my headline states 'Let The Colours Glow!" The crochet doily brings back memories of the times when my twin and I would sit in our living-room and crochet a variety of items for several hours. Janine and I made this one.

<b> I was determined to get new flowers in my garden this year and was happy that I succeeded with some of them. I especially liked this beautiful bloom which stayed around for several days despite the drought that we experienced. Now I wait with baited breath to see it bloom again. As I look at this picture my imagination is running wild. It reminds me of fireworks. I wish I knew the name of this flower. I continue to do my research.</b><br />

<b> I have always admired the awesome creations from my namesake Judy who has a blog titled <a href="http://judyscardmakingandpapercrafts.blogspot.com/">Judy's Handmade Creations</a> so I was thrilled to be the lucky winner of her angel cards and bracelets giveaway. When they arrived in time for my birthday, November 4, I had to exclaim "How cool is that?!"</b><br />
<b> Whenever I see the figure of an angel it has a comforting effect on me and what better day to use these items to decorate a small table but on my birthday. The decorations included a pretty cloth, picture of my twin and me, the angel cards and bracelets that I won, a special necklace with an angel pendant and a small red candle in a flower candle holder. I lit the candle for a short while. Below are pictures of the items I won and the decorated table.</b><br />

<b> November 4 marks another birthday for me and again as a twinless twin. I use the day to reflect and remember good times as I know that my twin sister Janine would want me to be happy. It is not easy but I thank God that I can celebrate with my family. </b><br />
<b> Things keep happening to lift my spirit when I face the difficult months of each year. Recently I saw an awesome rainbow. I had not seen one in many years. It was so huge that I stood in awe. I got some shots but my camera was not able to do it justice. Amazingly as my family and I stood looking at it my mom recited this verse from a hymn that she used to sing in high school over 76 years ago:</b><br />
<b> "O Joy that seekest me through pain,</b><br />
<b> I cannot close my heart to thee;</b><br />
<b> I trace the rainbow through the rain,</b><br />
<b> And feel the promise is not vain,</b><br />
<b> That morn shall tearless be."</b><br />
<div>
<b> I hope I get to see a rainbow soon again. In the meantime I will treasure these shots and be comforted by the wonderful words of the hymn.</b></div>

<b> Halloween is not celebrated in a big way in my homeland, Jamaica, but there are parties at hotels, clubs and some homes. I have learnt a lot about this celebration from blogs and have been fascinated by the decorations, costumes and recipes. I can just imagine how thrilled children are when they go trick or treating and get a variety of goodies. I note that pumpkins are a big part of Halloween. I like to see the carved pumpkins with lights. We have had huge pumpkins on our farm which provided us with some delicious pumpkin soup.</b><br />
