So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Finding Time to Relax at Tennessee Craft Fairs

By Rick Amorey

The farm can be a tiring place. Many people who have not experienced it cannot comprehend the difficulties associated with it; even if the fields are just a few steps from home, you should have the strength of mind required to avoid just lounging away in the comfort of your home. Working in a farm requires discipline.

But even so, it doesn't mean that there aren't any down periods for fun and relaxation. Once the day's work has been done, people can go about doing their different crafts and hobbies. While some of the younger sets prefer to play games instead (as youngsters are wont to do), I prefer to just kick back, stretch and go about my hobby of making crafted items.

Woodcarving has a special place in my heart. To me, it's a very satisfying hobby; even though it takes a couple of days to finish something. A piece of wood always has something within it, which I release with my carving knife, if I put my mind to it. It's rewarding, because I do it because I want to, and not because it's something required.

Furthermore, working on wood relaxes me; I do it in the comfort of my rocking chair as I watch the sunset. By working on my crafts, I relax the muscles that have been working for the whole day and the skin that has been scorched by the sun, all while doing something worthwhile. If you check my shelves right now, you will find many of my best crafts lined up there.

Sometimes, I get the opportunity to display my goods to the rest of Tennessee. Whenever a craft fair or festival is scheduled to happen, I quickly find out about it online and immediately secure a booth for myself. The money I get from selling wooden items is a nice bonus, plus I get to share my arts and crafts with the world at large.
