Silent Sunday

December 9, 2012 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 5 Comments

“Instead of being a time of unusual behavior, Christmas is perhaps the only time in the year when people can obey their natural impulses and express their true sentiments without feeling self-conscious and, perhaps, foolish. Christmas, in short, is about the only chance a man has to be himself.” ~ Francis C. Farley

Enjoy your day!

    Hi Elizabeth…Actually for once I have to disagree with your saying. People around my town show the spirit almost year round thankfully by helping others and donating. Love the image! I hope you're doing well.

    Happy Holidays!
