Merry Christmas Tipper and a Happy New Year. Tell granny I put my candy holder out that she gave me. I will cherish it always. I fill it up with different kinds of candy.
Tipper, I almost forgot to ask you to give Granny a sweet hug from me. She reminds me so much of my dear Mother. My Mother also used to write poems. I’ll share some of them with you sometime. I enjoyed hearing Granny talk this Christmas and I’m glad she is enjoying her many Christmas cards. Each and every one of mine are precious to me too. Merry Christmas again my friend. I love you and your family.
Dear sweet Tipper, Merry Christmas to you and your precious family. You all mean so much to me and I look forward to hearing from you every day on the Blind Pig and The Acorn. You are such a precious friend to me. Keep up the work. We sure do enjoy seeing your way of life in Appalachia. Your friend, Barbrie (Barbara)
Merry Christmas! Had a Christmas blessing late this afternoon. They released my husband from storm duty (he works for the power company as a mechanic) and he finally got to come home. We did not do our gift exchanging yet. Our girls opted to wait until tomorrow morning. We thought he would not be home until 11:30pm tomorrow night and everyone was getting a little teary eyed (and one girl isn’t feeling well, on top of it all).
Got to go to a real Midnight Mass last night & it was a most magical, beautiful, moving & precious ceremony that brought us all to tears. Jesus; the real gift of the season! Hope you all had a beautiful holiday.
Merry Christmas to Matt, Ms. Tipper, the twins, son in law, and Granny!
God bless you!
Merry Christmas to all of the “Blind Pig and the Acorn” family, Tipper. And a big thanks for sharing Granny’s Christmas poem and photo back in the day. Am sure you are very proud of Granny; she was certainly a beautiful young lady and an excellent poet. May 2023 bring your family and all your readership good health and happiness.

Is anyone familiar with trying to be the first to say « Christmas Gift » on Christmas Day? My dad’s family did this. No gift involved. Just the joy of saying it first.
Brenda Lee- we do that every year 🙂
