This was a delight to read. I live in southern Iowa and am used to seeing Amish buggies. But to get this inside look at a Christmas celebration is a treasure. And the glimpse of family life, enviable in so many ways. Thank you for being the person who has these experiences and sharing them.
Oh, Mary, that is just beautiful and I can picture you singing to those children with such glee. Love to you and Banjo, and here's to a new year with many visits from friends and neighbors. I'll be knocking at your door one of these days, promise!

Love your writing, Mary!
What a picture you gave us! When I read the details, like songbooks being unloaded with the benches, and the meal spread out, and more, I was happy.
Thank you for this lovely story, Mary. I felt like I was there with you. Merry Christmas!
Lovely, and love the podcast.
Thank you Mary. Love the adventures with your neighbors and Banjo.

Once again, a hit! What a lovely Christmas card...it made my day!
