The Best Gift is Family

At Lasting Memories the theme for December is December - Daily Holidays, Special & Wacky Days - a fun spin for this holiday season.

This challenge will run for 2 weeks. Your Challenge #477 is...
 Roots Day is celebrated on Dec 23. Celebrate your genealogy, as today is Roots Day.  It's a great day to celebrate your heritage. Many of us are returning to our roots today, as we head home for Christmas. Returning to our roots is a warm, cozy and comfortable feeling, a sense of belonging. Celebrate this day, by learning more about your family tree, and exploring your roots.

'Tis the Season

 So, on the first day to the Salvation Army I never even thought of taking photos and this is everything else on Day 2.

My journaling... In the midst of shopping for Christmas, wrapping presents, and packing for a trip to Mexico I just decided to clean out the basement. We hadn't done it for a few years and I was tired of looking at things we no longer used. First thing, a car load of various things went to the Salvation Army. Books went to 2 different libraries, Puzzles went to a nearby assisted living center. All the rest went to Good will. It fills my heart with joy to know that someone may be in need of these discarded things. December 2019.
